Big Merino is a pure merino wool in fingering/sock weight – hand-dyed with botanical dyes and natural colors. A wonderfully soft yarn with a great sheen, naturally mulesing-free. Big Merino works well for sweaters, cardigans, and scarves as well as for gloves or hats.
Big Merino comes here in an extra-large 150g skein – also check out its little siblings, the Big Merino 50g skeins – ideal for combining, for colorwork yokes, and great accents.
You can easily put it in the washing machine on a wool cycle – just no fabric softener, it doesn’t like that at all.
Also available as a set with the knitting pattern “Spiral Arms of the Galaxy”.

We try to display the colours as true to life as possible, but colour representation may vary from monitor to monitor.
