Big Merino Hug is a thick yarn in Aran weight – a yarn that wraps around you like a loving hug. Just as soft as Rosy Green Wool's other merino bases, 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 and more structured projects.
Production
To give Big Merino Hug its special warmth and loft, RGW uses 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
RGW deliberately spins 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.
