Meet the boldest of the Merry Merino family — Merry Merino 70 by Kremke Soul Wool. Spun thick, soft, and beautifully elastic from 70% GOTS-certified Merino wool, this is a chunky/bulky weight yarn that knits up quickly on 5–6mm needles and produces fabric with real warmth, substance, and a wonderfully squishy hand. In 15 carefully chosen shades spanning the full spectrum, it's a yarn that makes every project — from a cosy winter sweater to a quick weekend beanie — feel rewarding from cast-on to cast-off.
The Merino fibre itself delivers everything you expect from a premium Merino at chunky weight. It is naturally soft — Kremke note that 99% of people find it completely scratch-free against the skin, making it an excellent choice for garments worn close to the body, baby items, and accessories worn around the face and neck. Merino's natural elasticity and crimp give the yarn a satisfying bounce and recovery that keeps stitches even and fabric looking fresh, and its natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties make it comfortable across a wide range of conditions.
At chunky/bulky weight on 5–6mm needles, Merry Merino 70 knits at a tension of 16 stitches = 10cm, putting it in the most rewarding weight range for quick, impactful projects. Thick sweaters and cardigans that would take weeks in a finer weight come together in a fraction of the time. Soft baby blankets knit up in a weekend. Hats, scarves, cowls, and gloves are quick evening projects. The chunky stitch size also means that simple textures — seed stitch, moss stitch, garter stitch — have a bold, satisfying quality that reads beautifully in the finished piece.
Care Instructions: Machine washable – gentle cycle at 30°C
Perfect for: Chunky sweaters, cardigans, baby blankets, beanies, cowls, scarves, mittens, and any bulky weight project where a soft, warm, machine-washable GOTS-certified Merino is called for.
