New Zealand Merino Prints 8 Ply
New Zealand Merino Prints DK / 8 Ply
Soft, bouncy merino with beautifully shifting colour.
Add a touch of colour to your knitting with New Zealand Merino Prints DK, a beautifully soft and lightweight 8 ply merino yarn featuring gently variegated, self-patterning shades. Spun from premium merino wool, this yarn offers the same beloved softness and bounce as the classic range — now with eye-catching colour transitions that bring your projects to life.
The smooth, even twist delivers excellent stitch definition while allowing the printed colours to flow naturally across your fabric. Whether worked in simple stocking stitch or textured patterns, the yarn creates a unique finish with minimal effort, making it as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.
Incredibly soft against the skin, it’s perfect for baby garments, children’s knits and everyday pieces. From cosy sweaters and cardigans to hats, scarves and blankets, this versatile yarn combines warmth, breathability and visual interest for year-round knitting.
