Merino Sport, 50 g

Merino Sport is a smooth and pleasantly soft 100% wool yarn that feels comfortable even on sensitive skin. It has a wide range of stunning colors to choose from. The yarn’s beautiful, even surface gives a polished finish to your knitting. In addition to stockinette stitch, it is suitable for textured patterns as well as cable and lace knitting. The result is a lightweight, breathable, and durable garment that retains its shape in use.

Merino Sport is made from the finest mulesing-free extrafine merino wool. The firm cable twist makes the yarn exceptionally soft and durable, giving it a smooth and slightly lustrous finish. Thanks to the Superwash treatment, finished garments are easy to care for and can be machine washed at 30°C. This is your go-to yarn when you want softness, quality, and durability in your knitwear.

Merino Sport is a perfect merino yarn for sweaters, cardigans, and cable jumpers for both children and adults. We also recommend it for winter accessories such as woolly hats, hoods, mittens, scarves, and cowls.

The wool originates from Australia and South America, and the yarn is spun in Spain.
