Cheeky Merino Joy is pure joy for your skin. Rosy Green Wool's fine, versatile sport-weight yarn is ideal for lighter, ultra-soft knitwear. With clear stitch definition, elegant structure, and a silky-smooth feel – without sacrificing warmth. Knitting it feels like a gentle caress – pleasant even on sensitive skin. Perfect for tops, sweaters, shawls, lightweight hats or gloves, and baby clothes.
Production To give Cheeky Merino Joy its pleasant lightness and fine structure, RGW uses extra fine merino wool with 19.5 microns from Patagonia – from certified organic animal husbandry (kbT). This wool is especially skin-friendly and is produced without mulesing, chemical treatments, or long animal transport.
Made with care you can feel RGW spins Cheeky Merino Joy so the yarn glides smoothly, doesn’t split, and pills minimally. Gentle hank dyeing preserves its elasticity and softness – ideal for delicate stitch work. It is made in a small Portuguese mill using traditional machines and a lot of handcraft.
Certified fair and pure Cheeky Merino Joy is fully GOTS-certified. Fair working conditions, ecological standards, and health-safe materials are a matter of course – verified independently throughout the supply chain. It’s machine-washable without chlorine – skin-friendly and environmentally responsible.
Care
Knitted items made from Cheeky Merino Joy can be machine washed at 30°C. We recommend using a wool detergent and selecting your machine’s delicate cycle. Dry flat, ideally on a terry towel, to prevent distortion. Do not dry directly on a heat source or in direct sunlight! If needed, the garment can be ironed on the lowest setting.
