WHAT’S HER STORY? DROPS Daisy is a unique yarn crafted from 100% extra fine merino wool that hasn't undergone any superwash treatment. The wool fibers used in this yarn remain in their natural state, undergoing only a washing process before dyeing. This approach accentuates the inherent qualities of the wool, enhancing breathability and ensuring better shape retention and texture. Just like all our merino yarns, the merino wool used in DROPS Daisy is sourced from free-range, mulesing-free animals in South America. FAMOUS FOR... Created by combining four strands, DROPS Daisy offers added elasticity, resulting in well-defined stitches, making it particularly well-suited for cable, structural, and moss patterns. It's essential to handle garments made with this yarn with care: maintain the correct tension while knitting, opting for a tighter tension rather than a looser one, and follow the provided care instructions diligently. This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).
