Fine merino fibres create a warm, soft fabric suited to garments and accessories worn close to the skin.
Broadway Yarns Baby Supremo Fantasy
Soft merino baby yarn with colour already woven into the idea
Broadway Baby Supremo Fantasy turns the much-loved softness of superfine merino into a playful printed 4 ply yarn. Each 50g ball carries approximately 200 metres, giving baby knits, accessories and delicate layers colour movement without changing yarns.
- 100% superfine superwash merino for softness, warmth and practical care.
- Fantasy printed colour adds gentle variation as the project grows.
- Fine 4 ply weight suits detailed babywear, light garments and accessories.
- Made in Italy as part of Broadway's quality merino yarn range.

Delicate colour without complicated colourwork
The printed palette does the visual work while you concentrate on the knitting. It is a lovely choice when a plain stockinette garment needs more personality, or when a baby project deserves colour that still feels soft and gentle.
Each fantasy shade combines related tones that appear gradually through the knitted or crocheted fabric.
Superwash treatment makes handmade babywear easier to care for when the ball-band instructions are followed.

A useful creative detail
The same shade can look different from project to project
Colour placement changes with stitch count, gauge, needle or hook size and the width of each row or round. A tiny hat may show the sequence differently from a wide blanket, even when both use the same shade.
- Make a generous swatch to see the colour movement
- Use a simple stitch when you want the printed colour to lead
- Check dye lots when buying several balls
- Alternate balls if you want to soften visible transitions
Project ideas for Baby Supremo Fantasy
Baby cardigans
Soft colour variation adds interest to simple yokes, raglans and everyday layering pieces.
Hats and booties
Small projects make thoughtful gifts and let the fantasy effect emerge quickly.
Blankets and shawls
The generous 200m ball supports lightweight fabric with soft colour movement.
Fine accessories
Try scarves, cowls, mitts, lightweight socks or crochet pieces where the pattern suits pure merino.
For baby projects: follow the pattern's safety guidance. Keep cords, loose embellishments and other detachable details away from garments or accessories intended for sleeping babies.
How many balls will you need?
Read the pattern metreage
Use the required metres for the correct size, not a guess based only on the garment type.
Divide by 200 metres
Each ball contains approximately 200m. Divide the pattern requirement by 200 and round up.
Add a sensible allowance
Include enough for your swatch, pattern changes and matching the colour effect where important.
Example: a pattern requiring 650m needs at least four balls because 650 divided by 200 equals 3.25. Add more if your swatch, size or modifications require it.
