Yarn Notes
Yarn Specs
The Brand

An unbelievably soft and luxurious blend of Fine Merino and Italian Cashmere, Merino Cloud is unlike any other yarn!

This Fingering/Sport Weight yarn contains an exceptionally high quality cashmere which makes it super soft and as light as a cloud, but with tons of loft and body, and exquisite drape and stitch definition.

And since Artyarns are masters of colours and dyeing, and this yarn takes pigment so well, expect to be wowed! We think this yarn is perfect for socks, hats, shawls, light garments and even baby stuff!

Every skein is individually hand-painted by artisans, and yet colourways are exceptionally repeatable across dye lots. You normally won't have to worry about alternating skeins.

If you're looking for the Ombré Merino Cloud, you'll find ithere.

[PS - Merino Cloud has a great deal of loft. It is soft enough to be worked as a fingering weight on 3.75mm needles (yielding 5.5 sts per inch) or as a heavy fingering on 4mm needles (yielding 5 sts per inch), or as a dk weight on 4.5mm needles (yielding 4.5 sts per inch).

Because of the loft in the yarn in fills in nicely and does not result in too-holey fabric. Because of the softness in the yarn, it can actually be knitted even on 2mm (size 0) needles, and would still not be too stiff!]

This is the most beautiful yarn! I've used it for colourwork and for two shawls. It blooms beautifully and is so soft. The colour is fantastic. I've had so many compliments on things I've knitted with this.

Absolutely gorgeous wool, so soft but strong, perfect for any sweater or accessory. It’s definitely becoming my go to yarn. I used it recently for my ziggurat sweater in Ruby Port and BlackBerry Sorbet.

So soft and so luxurious feeling to knit with! I've bought this to knit up a Spot Sweater as part of the Tribe Yarns KAL and loving it so much. Like other reviewers I'm really amazed by how well the yarn blooms and relaxes when blocked, and how fine the fabric it produces is. Despite it being fingering weight I'm working it as DK with no problems or gaps between stitches. It means the fabric is so flexible with beautiful drape, but I can just tell that it will be warm and luxurious feeling still!

I love knitting with this yarn. The colours are rich (BlackBerry sorbet is divine), and the yarn glides on the needles without being too slippy. It relaxes beautifully when blocked, and produces warm but not too thick FOs. I’m already planning my next jumper in this.

I am a return customer for this yarn having bought Hummingbird before. I know I will buy more. The colours are deep and texture is so soft to the skin.
