Ewe So Sporty Merino Yarn
Ewe So Sporty Merino Yarn
Smooth, bouncy rows, springy texturing, and effortless, lightweight comfort. 🌿✨
There is a quiet, rhythmic joy that comes with casting on a sport-weight project. It is that perfect creative space where your fabric stays wonderfully light and breathable, yet holds all the comforting, cozy properties of pure wool.
Ewe So Sporty is our signature sport-weight line, designed specifically to bring a plush, springy texture to your needles. I created this yarn because I wanted a finer gauge that still feels wonderfully substantial, round, and full in your hands. Thanks to a beautifully balanced 3-ply construction and a soft, resilient twist, it creates a plump strand that glides effortlessly through your fingers.
Whether you are working intricate mosaic colorwork, standard stockinette, or rows of rhythmic cables, this yarn delivers beautiful, clear stitch definition that lets your hard work shine.

Coordinated Palettes, Made for Modern Life
A premium yarn shouldn't come with high-maintenance rules. Ewe So Sporty is spun from premium Australian merino wool and dyed in Italy to our exact specifications. It is 100% superwash, meaning it goes right into the regular washing machine in cool water and can tumble dry on low. It blooms beautifully after blocking, holding its soft shape and color clarity wash after wash.
Because it’s built directly into our painter's palette color system, our solid shades coordinate across our weights. Pick your perfect shades, skip the winding fatigue, and treat your needles to making joy!

Questions you might have
What is Ewe So Sporty 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 28 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. Ewe So Sporty 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 Ewe So Sporty 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, Ewe So Sporty is 6 stitches to 1" on a size US 4 needle, with 145 yards per 50g 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!
Where is the link to download the hat
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!
