We are proud to present our silky soft, flexible merino yarn, designed especially for the world’s best yarny customers.

This is a soft and delicious wool, nice and cosy and absolutely itch free, which many of us appreciate.
If you are knitting or crocheting for babies/ children, you can rest assured that the end result will be super soft when you use our Baby Merino, which is also very easy to care for since it is machine washable.

Hobbii Baby Merino XL is a cable spun yarn, which creates and incredibly strong thread with a wonderful elasticity. You will find that the yarn pulls a little in on itself and is very flexible while you work it. It will straighten out more when you block it and while it will keep its suppleness, you should factor in that the yarn will stretch slightly. For this is reason, it is important that you do not knit too loosely. If you have a tendency to knit loosely, you may need to go down half a needle size. As always, we recommend that you start out with a swatch, so you will know your gauge after blocking - it can save you from regrets later on!

Baby Merino is well suited for pullovers, cardigans, hats, and other accessories - even baby blankets, that need to be warm and can benefit from having a little weight to them. Structured knitting with knit/purl patterns or cable knitting will show up beautifully in Baby Merino, and more intricate patterns will look very striking, almost sculpted in this yarn.
