4Ply / Fingering Merino
100% Superwash Australian Merino
100g · 400mSmooth, soft, and beautifully balanced, this Australian superwash merino is a versatile fingering-weight yarn designed for both everyday wear and delicate, detailed projects.
Spun from fine Australian merino, it has a gentle elasticity and a clean stitch definition that makes it perfect for lace, colourwork, and intricate textures. The superwash treatment allows for easy care while keeping the fibre soft and comfortable against the skin.
One 100g skein (400m) is ideal for shawls, scarves, socks, and lightweight garments, while multiple skeins work beautifully for sweaters, cardigans, and dresses.
This base takes dye exceptionally well, producing rich, luminous colours with beautiful depth — making it one of our favourite bases for Butterfly’s hand-dyed palettes.
Recommended needle size:
2.25–4.0 mm
Use smaller needles for socks and firm fabrics, or larger needles for airy, drapey garments.
