DROPS Merino EXTRA Fine
DROPS Merino Extra Fine is a super soft and elastic yarn made from 100% extra fine merino wool. The yarn is cable spun and superwash treated, making it durable, comfortable, and easy to care for. It’s a perfect choice for everyday use – especially for baby and children's garments where softness and durability are key. The wool is mulesing-free and comes from free-range animals in South America. It is also Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.
Usage
DROPS Merino Extra Fine is ideal for textured knitting, cables, and seed stitch. Its elastic structure ensures even and neat stitches. Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, hats, and soft baby and children's wear.

- Extra soft and itch-free: Gentle on the skin – perfect for sensitive baby and children's skin.
- Superwash treated: Machine washable and easy to maintain for daily use.
- Color mixes and texture: Available in solid and beautifully blended shades – perfect for textured patterns and cables.
Usage tips
Great for everything from baby cardigans and rompers to textured adult garments. Remember that the cable-spun, elastic yarn requires careful gauge – knit a bit tight rather than loose. Wash cold, do not soak, and dry flat to maintain shape.

Reviews
Best yarn! but too short. I needed 15 pieces of yarn
Such beautiful and soft yarn. What a joy to work with. I did crochet many things with this yarn, like Cardigans and Pullover. Absolutely gorgeous ????
Beautiful colors and very very soft. I would liken it to a small DK, but not a sock weight. I used it to make an infinity scarf for my sister and it turned out gorgeous.
What a joy to work with ???? Absolutely in love with this yarn. Made 3 Cardigans and 1 Pullover. The colors are really beautiful, the color range is pretty good. Suuuper soft yarn, it's very warm the best: it's superwash Merinowolle. Perfect ????
Super soft wool. Very easy to work with
I love this wool . It’s great to knit with , washes superbly and there is a good colour choice . I’ve tried other makes but this is the best . Great service too These folks really try hard
The wool itself is lovely and soft, though there is some variation depending on the colour. I'm guessing the content of the dye has an effect on this. However, the on-screen representation of the colour is somewhat inaccurate and it's hard to gauge which colours will go well together if you're using more than one.
Lovely colour. I ordered mustard.The yarn arrived quickly and I am looking forward to knitting a cable jacket with it. Great website. Thanks
