About The Yarn

Bella Coco Merino is a ‘Z Twist’ yarn, making it perfect for crocheters! Available in 30 shades and 5 pretty prints!

• Incredibly Soft: This is not the scratchy, itchy wool you may remember from days gone by! It’s super soft and so comfortable to wear against the skin, even for babies. 
• Breathable: Wool is a very clever fibre, and merino wool is moisture-wicking and will keep your temperature even. 
• Washable: We opted for superwash Merino, which means it’s safe to pop in the wash.
