DMC Merino Essentiel 8

DMC Merino Essentiel 8 is a high quality wool that combines the softness and warmth of merino wool with the durability and practicality of acrylic. This blend of fibres results in a soft, cuddly and fluffy yarn, perfect for knitting garments and accessories for autumn and winter.

The most outstanding of Merino Essentiel is its high thickness, with a yarn that is formed by three strands that give it that fluffiness and lightness ideal to knit with the 8 mm knitting needles. This characteristic facilitates the knitting process, because it progresses quickly and allows the creation of clothes in a relatively short time, so it is suitable for beginners.

The composition of Merino Essentiel consists of 55% merino wool and 45% acrylic. This combination offers a perfect balance between warmth, comfort and lightness. It is ideal for knitting a variety of sweet and warm garments, such as scarves, collars, beanies, jumpers, blankets or shawls.

The merino wool in this blend has an amazing thermoregulating capacity, which means that it maintains body heat when needed and allows perspiration when the temperature rises. It also adds strength and softness to knitted garments. This makes it suitable for people with sensitive skin and allows knitting garments for all members of the family.
