New Zealand Merino 4ply
New Zealand Merino 4ply / Fingering
A timeless staple in beautifully soft New Zealand merino.
New Zealand Merino 4ply is a true essential for knitters — beautifully soft, versatile, and designed for everyday making. Crafted from 100% New Zealand merino wool, grown and spun locally, this yarn offers natural warmth, breathability, and exceptional softness that feels gentle against the skin.
Its lightweight 4ply (fingering weight) construction creates smooth, even stitches with excellent definition, making it a pleasure to work across fine textures, lace, and classic stockinette. Durable yet soft, and fully machine washable, it balances the beauty of natural fibre with the practicality needed for everyday wear.
Perfect for baby garments, lightweight sweaters, and refined accessories, this yarn shines in projects that call for comfort, longevity, and a polished finish. Available in a thoughtfully curated palette of elegant neutrals, heritage tones, and modern pops of colour, it’s a reliable choice for both wardrobe staples and meaningful handmade gifts.
