Description
Bambini 8 Extrafine Merino 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. . See all the colours currently in stock here

Crafty 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
