100% Merino wool provides natural softness and breathability for baby-sensitive skin
50 g ball yields 225 m of yarn — enough for a full baby sweater or multiple accessories
Machine washable at 40 °C, making daily care simple and practical for parents
Terracotta shade adds a warm, earthy tone to neutral nursery palettes
What sets DMC Baby 3 apart
Unlike blended yarns, Baby 3 uses only pure Merino fibres, which naturally regulate temperature and wick moisture away from the skin. The consistent 3.5 mm needle compatibility ensures even tension across projects, reducing the frustration of uneven stitching in delicate baby items.
Ideal for...
New parents and knitters creating first garments for infants aged 0–12 months. The hypoallergenic Merino fibre is particularly suited for babies with sensitive or reactive skin, and the neutral terracotta tone pairs easily with other DMC Baby 3 shades for coordinated sets.
