Baa Baa Bulky Merino Yarn
Baa Baa Bulky Merino Yarn
Ultimate pillowy squish, plush rhythmic rows, and cozy knitting comfort. ☁️✨
There is a special kind of excitement that belongs entirely to casting on a bulky project. It’s the sheer, satisfying joy of watching a gorgeous, plush piece come together on your needles, one cozy row at a time.
Baa Baa Bulky is the biggest, bounciest member of the Ewe Ewe family. I custom-engineered this yarn because I wanted to take the heavy, stiff feel out of traditional thick wools. We wanted to offer makers a yarn that feels like a lofty cloud while keeping the structural spring needed to hold its shape beautifully year after year.
Spun in Italy from premium Australian merino wool, its unique 3-ply twist gives it incredible elasticity and a soft, touchable finish. Your stitches will look incredibly clean, round, and beautifully defined—whether you are working an intuitive garter stitch block or dramatic, chunky cables. It glides effortlessly through your fingers, turning every single row into pure, soothing comfort.
Projects That Wrap You in Comfort:
-
Lofty Sweaters & Cardigans: Creates statement winter garments that feel beautifully light, airy, and warm without an ounce of bulkiness or scratchiness.
-
Cozy Accessories: The ultimate choice for plush beanies, infinity cowls, and thick scarves.
-
Plush Baby Blankets: Thick, cloud-soft security blankets that welcome little ones with ultimate warmth and are completely gentle against sensitive skin.
Coordinated Color for Real-Life Making
Baa Baa Bulky comes in a curated rainbow of 25 happy solid shades that merchandise beautifully together on a shelf or side-by-side in a project bag. Because our painter's palette color system coordinates across our yarn weights, you can easily carry a favorite color theme from your lightweight spring shawls directly into your squishiest winter blankets.
And because real life can get messy, there are no high-maintenance care rules here. This yarn is 100% superwash merino wool. Pop your finished projects right into a cool machine wash, tumble dry low, and watch the stitches bloom even softer and fluffier every single time. Skip the winding fatigue, pick the shades that make you happy, and treat your needles to making joy!

Questions you might have
What is Baa Baa Bulky made of?
It's 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed at a mill in Italy to my specifications. The mill doesn't make this yarn for any other brand. It comes in 25 solid shades.
Will it pill?
The three plies are spun with a high twist to keep the fibers clinging to each other, which helps prevent the loose ends that can pill. The yarn is soft, so some pilling may occur, and it only gets softer with time and love.
How do I care for it?
My main recommendation is to soak your finished project in Soak Wash or another wool wash and block it, because blocking is where the stitches bloom. Baa Baa Bulky is also machine washable (inside out in cool water) and can tumble dry low, so everyday care is easy.
How much yarn do I need?
Each pattern page lists the yarn amounts. I'm always happy to help calculate yardage, so email hello@eweewe.com with your project and I'll help. If you're between amounts, it's better to order a little extra. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't replace a specific lot once it has sold out.
Can I use Baa Baa Bulky in a pattern I found?
Yes! I'm happy to help you substitute Ewe Ewe yarns into another pattern. Email me the pattern and I'll help you work it out. For comparing gauge, Baa Baa Bulky is 3.5 stitches to 1" on a size US 10.5 (6.5 mm) needle, with 132 yards per 100g skein.
Do the colors match across the yarn weights?
Yes. Our solid shades are coordinated across our yarn weights. Wooly Worsted and Ewe So Sporty come in all 28 shades, Baa Baa Bulky in 25, and Fluffy Fingering in 21.
Will the color look like the photo?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a shade, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
Let customers speak for us
Making for Halloween. The colors pop. The yarn feels so soft.
An oops. Plus usually when I buy EWE EWE bundles the pattern is included, not this time.
this Wooly Worsted MerinoYarn is beautiful and extremely soft to the touch. The color is rich and true and will make an amazing looking sweater. I can’t wait to start using this yarn then actually wearing it. I highly recommend this yarn from Ewe Ewe Yarns!

The yarn is wonderful and customer service is top notch.
There will be knots in some skeins which is normal. I don't know if this will pill or not until it's knit into something but it's the nature of Merino to do so but that doesn't bother me. I only needed 3 skeins but the price was so good that I bought 5. It's super soft like you would expect and the proper thickness for a fingering sock weight. I split the skeins into (6) 56 to 58 gram skeins and dyed up 5. They took the dye nicely and I am pleased with my results. My yarn was packaged well/nicely and shipped VERY quickly and arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. I would purchase this again.
I ordered the baa bag bulky for my hat pattern, that I also bought from Eye eye yarns. I love this yarn !! It is so nice to work with. It is also soo soft!

Temperature Tee Yarn Kit
I’ve been waiting for the perfect yarn to start on my new wearable and the perfect pattern to do it with. Ewe Ewe has provided both. Not to mention the care and thoughtfulness of Heather, the owner , which makes it all the more fabulous!
I was open, when I ordered more yarn, to receive a different dye lot. I just figured for this children’s sweater I could make it work. Imagine my delight when I received the same dye lot! And quickly! I’m charged and almost finished!
I absolutely love this yarn. I had to buy more to make a hat and scarf!
