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 40°C, 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.

last year I've made a cabled crochet sweater with this yarn, in the color at 1:42.
It's buttery soft, with a nice bounce, great stitch definition and a gorgeous drape.
it was a pleasure to work with and it has been a pleasure to wear all winter.
the label calls for handwashing, but being allergic to most detergents I've washed my sweater in the washing machine (delicate cycle, specific for wool and silk) multiple times, and it's still perfect 🤩
Definitely one of my favorites from Hobbii (but to be fair, I've loved everything I bought from them so far) ❤
Thanks for your information, I’m looking for a soft fiber to make a summer top. I was thinking of purchasing this yarn but I noticed you said you wear the top in the winter. Do you have any suggestions, it will be greatly appreciated🤗
Merino is wonderful yarn ,has a lovely bounce and great to knit with
❤I would love to make sweaters for myself in all my favorites favorite colors.
Ugh makes me want to get some sooo bad!!! But my husband would be very displeased with me because he thinks I have too much yarn already...there is no such thing as too much yarn lol. 😂
I just made a sweater with this yarn and when I washed it to block it it stretched an insane amount, even though I didn’t agitate or lift it out of the water while soaking wet. It’s drying flat now but I have a feeling it’s ruined. It is such a soft yarn though, I was every excited to have a sweater that is this soft.
Sweet! Would make a lacy shawl with it.
Hi, hobbii, yes that friends wool is great. I got some in a mystery crochet along with Katie Jones, it was beautifull. Great for any wearables.
Oh that looks so soft and cozy! Beautiful colors too! I enjoyed seeing the lovely items made with it too!
It is so soft!!
It looks beautiful ❤️ love the colors
I see a beautiful sweater to wear to hockey games
Thanks Gia, love how soft it looks and all the pretty colors❤️. As a beginner I’m really struggling purchasing online because I needs to touch it before I purchase it. Thanks for sharing, hugs🤗
P.S. is this good for felting?
Can you please tell me where I can find this light green knitted pattern you are showing at the end of the video ? Thanks ! 🙏
