DROPS BABY MERINO

DROPS Baby Merino – Soft, Natural Comfort for the Little Ones

Designed with delicate skin in mind, DROPS Baby Merino is made from 100% extra fine merino wool, offering unmatched softness, breathability, and comfort. Perfect for babies, children, and anyone who loves soft, itch-free knitwear, this yarn ensures every stitch feels gentle and smooth against the skin.

Spun from mulesing-free, ethically sourced wool from South America, DROPS Baby Merino is cable-spun from multiple fine strands — a construction that gives it excellent elasticity and beautiful stitch definition. It’s especially suited for patterns that require precision and structure, producing garments that are neat, stretchy, and long-lasting.

The yarn is superwash treated, making it machine washable and easy to care for — a perfect choice for everyday baby clothes, blankets, and accessories. Its Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification guarantees that it’s free from harmful chemicals, ensuring safety and peace of mind for even the most sensitive skin.
