DROPS Big Merino – Chunky Superwash Merino for Quick Knits
DROPS Big Merino is soft extra fine merino in a thicker, aran-weight strand, for sweaters, cardigans, hats and blankets that grow fast on 5 mm needles. Spun from many thin strands of mulesing-free merino, it gives plump, even stitches and clear cables, and it is superwash treated so finished garments can be machine washed on a gentle 40°C cycle.
Why choose DROPS Big Merino?
- Fast on 5 mm Needles: At 17 stitches per 10 cm, Big Merino knits up quickly — ideal for chunky sweaters, cardigans and accessories.
- Soft and Washable: Superwash extra fine merino is gentle against the skin and can be machine washed on a gentle 40°C cycle.
- Bold Stitch Definition: The smooth, many-strand construction makes cables, rib and textures stand out clearly.
