Description
Bambini 8 – Extrafine Merino – Mitten was developed by Don McLearie of Prestige Yarns here in Australia to support Australian Wool growers and fill a spot in the Australian market for a beautiful quality Australian merino yarn. Don has been around the Australian wool industry for most of his working life and was involved in wool buying with Elders before starting Prestige Yarns.
There are no mills in Australia able to spin an extra fine merino so Don sent his wool to the fabric mills of Italy that are renowned for their exceptional quality. Bambini 8 Extrafine Merino is perfect for all 8 ply projects and is so soft it is suitable for babies and adults.

We also know how hard it can be to compare colours or select several yarns for one project. If you need help with this please just let us know. We are happy to send you photos of yarns and colour combinations. You can contact me on 0480 485 071 for any help.
Whilst we take every care with our images to ensure reasonable colour accuracy and texture of the yarn, due to the differences of everyone’s individual monitors, we cannot guarantee that the colour on your screen will be an exact match to the colour of the yarn. If we can assist you in matching or describing colours, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Craft Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites
