  • Description
  • Reviews

Bellissimo 8ply Merino extra-fine is a versatile yarn with a tight twist, perfect for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects. It is actually our most popular yarn and when you feel it and look at its wonderful range of clear, gorgeous, jewel-like colours, you'll understand why.

The extra-fine merino wool for this lovely yarn is sourced from Tasmania and is then milled, spun and dyed in Italy. The water used in processing Bellissimo wool is the pure melted snow from the Italian Alps. The factory is located about halfway up the mountain. When the process is finished, the water flows down and is irrigated to the Arborio rice-growing region around Novara. 

  • 8ply / DK weight
  • 100% merino extra-fine wool 
  • 125m / 137 yds per 50g ball
  • Gauge: 22sts to 10cm on 4mm needles
  • Needle size: 4mm-4.5mm / US 6-7
  • Care: cool machine wash, dry flat, cool iron. May be dry-cleaned

It's great for any pattern that uses 8ply/DK weight yarn. And it's especially good for baby blankets and garments as it is beautifully soft and machine-washable with a lovely feel. You'll love using it, plus kids don't find it scratchy at all!

Amazing yarn. Knits up beautifully.

By: Susan O'Brien on 6 May 2022
I made a christening blanket with this wool and it looks great.

Beautiful to work with

By: Laura on 9 October 2021
This wool is a delight to work with! I'll be buying more in different colours for warm and lightweight projects.

Perfect

By: Annie on 21 March 2021
I’ve only just learnt how to knit and I was hesitant to buy “proper” high-quality wool in case I stuffed my project up. I should have done it much, much earlier. This yarn is absolutely wonderful to work with, soft and strong. I’ve knitted two hats in different patterns and both turned out superb. I cannot recommend it enough - colours are true to pictures shown.

Soft and Smooth

By: Linda S on 17 April 2020
This yarn feels so soft to touch when you pick up the ball you just have the urge to squeeze it! It is no surprise that the knitted piece is equally luxurious. This is the yarn to choose for next to sensitive skin. The strands are very smooth and rounded and just slides off your needles like a dream. I’m making a blanket from it with big lacy holes and the stitch definition and drape are perfect for it. The shop sample garter blanket is very squishy and the colour range is fab. However, it is very versatile beyond baby and kids knits. We have had many return customers for beanies and scarves too. They report that gift recipients who usually complain about the general scratchiness of wool items cannot find fault in this smooth superfine merino.
