Soft Merino from Dale Garn is a soft yarn made from 100% extra fine merino wool. The yarn is not superwash-treated, which means that the wool's natural elasticity, warming properties, and breathability are preserved. The result is a pliable yarn with a fine texture that is suitable for both small and large knitting projects.
Soft Merino is suitable for everything from baby and children's garments to fine-knit sweaters, cardigans, hats, and scarves for adults. The yarn is equally suitable for stockinette stitch as it is for colorwork, textured patterns, cables, lace knitting, crochet, and other projects where you want a soft and dimensionally stable result.

💡 Good to know
Soft Merino has the same gauge as Dale Baby Ull and Lille Lerke, which means that many patterns can be knitted with any of these yarns. Always follow the gauge indicated in the pattern, as the information on the ball band is only a guide.
The yarn can be felted, but bleached white yarn cannot be felted. Natural white yarn, which is not bleached, can be felted.
