In brief Drops Cotton Merino

Drops Cotton Merino is a combination of extra fine merino wool and long-fibre cotton. We have chosen not to card the wool and cotton together, which highlights the unique properties of each fibre and creates a more beautiful play in both colour and texture. The wool is superwash treated, which makes the yarn incredibly soft against the skin and therefore ideal for baby and children's clothing.

The yarn is produced by spinning the many fine threads together, which gives the yarn fullness and roundness. This technique makes it particularly suitable for cables, textured patterns and pearl knitting. The special construction means that it is important to keep the knitting tension. Knit or crochet too tightly rather than too loosely. It's also important to follow the washing instructions. As with all merino wool yarns from Drops, merino wool comes from free-range mulesing-free animals in South Africa and South America.

Read more about washing yarn

 

All our superwash treated merino yarns should be machine washed on a delicate programme. That said, there are some important tips for washing this yarn:

  • Machine wash - separately - on delicate wash 40ºC with a gentle spin (approx. 800 revolutions), using a detergent without enzymes or optical brightener.
  • Never use fabric softener on superwash-treated yarn - the fibres become so soft that they slip apart.
  • Never soak clothes or leave them in the washing machine for too long when it's ready.
  • Dry clothes flat in the correct shape and size - do not hang - preferably on a warm bathroom floor or on a drying rack in a room with good circulation, never in direct sunlight.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Never iron directly on the garment. Use a tea towel between the iron and the garment.

Please note: If you want to wash a project that is a combination of this and another yarn, follow the washing instructions for the yarn with the finest/most delicate fibres.
