Soft, snuggly, and gentle enough for the most delicate skin — Woolly Baby Merino 4 Ply is a premium pure Merino yarn made with little ones in mind. Light and breathable, it knits up beautifully into the kind of heirloom-quality baby garments that get passed down and treasured: cardigans, hats, booties, blankets, and lightweight layering pieces that keep babies cosy without overheating them.
Pure Merino is the gold standard for baby knits. It's naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, and far softer than standard wool — gentle against newborn skin and kind to sensitive little bodies. At 170 metres per 50 g ball, it's a generous fingering weight that works up to a fine, detailed fabric on 3.25 mm needles, with excellent stitch definition that makes even simple patterns look polished. And because it's machine washable on a wool cycle, those precious handmade gifts stay soft and beautiful through every wash.
