Big Merino Hug
Exceptionally soft, warm, and quick to knit – our favorite for accessories.
Big Merino Hug is our thickest yarn in Aran weight – a yarn that wraps around you like a loving hug. Just as soft as our other merino qualities, but with even more volume. When warmth, coziness, and fluffiness matter, this yarn is the perfect choice. Whether for thick winter sweaters, warm cardigans, cozy hats, or scarves – Big Merino Hug provides you with snuggly comfort. It’s ideal for quick knitting results with added fluff.
Our Production
To give Big Merino Hug its special warmth and loft, we use extra fine merino wool from Patagonia with 19.5 microns – naturally from certified organic animal husbandry (kbT). The fibers are especially soft, without the bulk of the yarn compromising wearing comfort.
Made with care you can feel
We deliberately spin the yarn compactly so that it retains its shape, is easy to work with, and resists pilling – even with larger stitches. The gentle hank dyeing process adds extra softness to the yarn. It’s produced in a small, family-run mill in Portugal, where craftsmanship and attention to detail are key.
Certified fair and pure
Big Merino Hug is GOTS-certified. Fair working conditions, strict environmental standards, and a chlorine-free finish ensure that the yarn is skin-friendly, machine-washable, and sustainable – verified at every stage of production.

Strickstücke aus Big Merino Hug können bei 30° C in der Waschmaschine gewaschen werden. Es empfiehlt sich, ein Wollwaschmittel zu verwenden und ein Schonprogramm der Maschine zu wählen. Anschließend liegend trocknen, am besten auf einem Frottiertuch, um Verformungen zu vermeiden. Bitte auf keinen Fall direkt auf einer Heizquelle oder in der prallen Sonne trocknen! Bei Bedarf kann das Strickstück auf niedrigster Stufe gebügelt werden.

Merino wool
Incredibly Soft: The Wool
Soft wool starts with the sheep.We use extra fine merino wool with 19.5 microns from Patagonia – a true treat for the senses and kind to animals.
Sourced from certified organic animal husbandry (kbT), it is guaranteed free from painful mulesing, chemical sheep dips, and long live transports to slaughter.
MERINO WOOL
Made with care you can feel
We spin the yarn just tightly enough to prevent it from splitting while knitting and to minimize pilling in the finished piece. Dyed loosely in the hank, it becomes even softer and retains its beautiful elasticity – a true pleasure to knit with. A small mill in Portugal produces the yarn according to our exact specifications – using traditional machines and plenty of skilled handwork. And you can see that quality in every finished piece.

Merino Wool
Ethically and purely made
Our wool is 100% GOTS certified. That means you can be sure it’s made without harm to animals or people. Fair working conditions, strict environmental standards, and a minimal use of approved chemicals are regularly audited by independent organizations – at every one of our producers and at our own facilities. For example, our wool is made machine-washable without the use of chlorine. The result: a yarn that smells pleasant and is gentler on your skin.
