Merino Wool Yarn Collection

Fineness explains why merino so rarely itches: each fibre is markedly finer than ordinary wool, bending against the skin instead of prickling. The breed behind it originated in Spain in the Middle Ages and now thrives across the Southern Hemisphere, feeding spinners from Denmark to Uruguay, all of whom appear on this page. Bases run from lace and 4-ply through sport and DK to chunky, including smooth-plied yarns for crisp stitch definition and airy singles for soft halos. Temperature regulation makes merino wearable well beyond winter.
