Lang Yarns Merino 200 Bébé Color – fine merino yarn, 50 g

Lang Yarns Merino 200 Bébé Color – fine merino yarn in a multicolour look

Merino 200 Bébé Color from Lang Yarns is a fine yarn made from Australian merino wool, for knitting projects in a multicolour look, especially baby items. According to Lang Yarns, the yarn feels warm, has a soft handle and is machine washable. Choose your colour from the options.

Each ball weighs 50 g and has a length of 203 m. You need the length for planning quantities: compare it with the length given in your pattern to work out how many balls your design requires.

What to knit with Merino 200 Bébé Color

The yarn is fingering weight and, with a needle size of 2.5–3.5 mm, suits fine, lightweight knitted pieces. The soft handle and the merino wool make it a good choice for projects worn directly against the skin, such as baby clothes, cardigans or hats. With a multicoloured yarn, the colour gradient already provides variety. Simple patterns such as stocking stitch, rib or garter stitch show it off best, whereas elaborate textured patterns tend to get lost in the colour changes.

Tension and quantities

The ball band gives 28 stitches and 32 rows over 10 × 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. If you need several balls, it is best to buy them all in one order so that the colour gradient matches.
