The 5 Best Merino Wool Yarns, Voted by Our Customers

“Beautiful yarn for gifting”

I buy this yarn all the time. The colors are rich and it holds its shape well after washing. It’s soft enough to wear right next to your skin. I make cowls that protect my son's neck and are long enough to pull up and cover his nose and mouth when it’s cold. I make shawls and scarves for Christmas presents for family and friends. I give them away as fast as I make them.

“Soft and vibrant yarn”

This yarn is super soft and the colors are vibrant. I prefer the tonal shades most, and the roasted carrot is a gorgeous red orange. Rios should knit up quickly as well. I plan on knitting a sweater.

“Perfect for knitting projects”

It is perfect for sweaters, blankets, and hats. I prefer it to the regular superwash 220. It is softer and feels better on my hands as I am knitting.

“Beautiful yarn for shawls”

The colors are vibrant, the yarn is soft, and I love the texture. I haven’t started yet due to surgery on my shoulder. I'm using it for a beautiful triangle shawl.

“Perfect for reversible throws”

I love the gorgeous color and lovely hand. I'm using it for a bouncy, lofty reversible throw for a gift. That's what I knit now - reversible throws. No matter how they're piled in a chair, they look great! I highly recommend it 10/10!

The yarn is very soft and very easy to work with. I am using it for a baby blanket project that is almost complete, but it's not finished yet. It's holding very well, no surprises. I am sure I will use the yarn for my next project.

I was looking for a nice soft DK weight yarn to make a baby hat, and it was on sale. It is very soft, has no splitting, and has good stitch definition. I'm using it for a hat that is not finished.

I'm using it for sweaters. I have many finished objects in this yarn, too many to count. It is soft and good drape, wears well, doesn't pill. It still looks like new.
