Exceptionally fine, beautifully soft, and with a yardage that will delight any knitter — DMC 100% Baby Merino 4 Ply is a pure merino yarn that lives up to its name in every way. Designed with baby knitting in mind but equally at home in adult garments, shawls, and fine accessories, this is a yarn that rewards careful, detail-rich knitting with results that are genuinely special.
The 100% pure merino composition is what sets this yarn apart. Merino is the gold standard for baby knitting — its extraordinarily fine fibres are naturally soft and non-scratchy, making it gentle enough for even the most sensitive newborn skin. It's naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, keeping little ones (and adults) comfortable across a range of conditions, and has the natural elasticity that helps finished garments hold their shape and recover beautifully after washing. Machine washable on a wool cycle for easy everyday care.
At 4 ply fingering weight with a generous 225m per 50g ball, this yarn offers outstanding value and exceptional versatility. The long yardage means one ball goes a long way — ideal for baby garments, booties, and bonnets, as well as shawls, wraps, and lightweight adult accessories. The fine, smooth finish gives excellent stitch definition, making it a wonderful choice for lace patterns, delicate cables, and any project where the detail of the knitting deserves to shine.
