If you will not settle for any less than the softest merino wool, then you will enjoy working with our Friends Extra Fine Merino. 

Merino wool is a great fiber to keep you warm, helps with regulating your body temperature during wintertime, and is completely itch-free. This means, of course, that it can be also worn by people with sensitive skin, including children. 

The wool for Friends Extra Fine Merino is sourced in South America and is mulesing-free. It is superwash treated and machine washable at 30°C (cold wash), making it extra easy to take care of.

We encourage you to be creative with this yarn and try working it using a double thread (of the same or two different colors), but also to pair it with a wonderful mohair yarn to give it a fluffy effect.

Being extremely versatile, you can knit or crochet any kind of project with this yarn such as sweaters, cardigans, beanies, mittens, scarves, etc for adults as well as children, and any home decor that could use a cozy touch. 

Do you want your next project to feel as soft as a feather? Friends Extra Fine Merino is the way to go.

Pro tip: Merino fibers are very elastic and might stretch easily, especially in larger pieces, due to the weight of the water. This is indeed normal for merino wool. We suggest not using the spin cycle of your washing machine, but instead carefully lifting the garment out of the machine, while supporting all parts, so nothing is left hanging. Then press the water out of the garment manually and without wringing. We also recommend drying our Friends Extra Fine Merino flat and making sure that no part of your project is left hanging to make sure your project will not lose its shape.

Note: Please note that a printing error has occurred on the label. The correct gauge is 26 stitches x 34 rows. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

The yarn is OEKO-TEX® certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at the https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

About the Friends family

The colors of the yarns included in the Friends family are literally friends!

This means the color numbers correspond to the same color across the different Friends yarns. If you order the same color number from two different Friends yarns, they will match. Please note that there can be slight differences in the shades from fiber to fiber.

Have fun combining and matching them in all your projects.
