An unbelievably soft and luxurious blend of Fine Merino and Italian Cashmere, Merino Cloud is unlike any other yarn!
Also - claim your FREE Merino Cloud Collection e-Book of 4 gorgeous patterns (worth £34.99)
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 it here.
And be sure to check out the BRAND NEW Neon Splash Merino Cloud range here.
Check out the matching Beaded Silk & Sequins Light for some of these colourways too!

[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!] -

We recommend hand washing non-superwash, hand-dyed yarns.
Although Artyarns are very consistent with their colourways, all hand-painted skeins are unique. If your project uses more than one skein, you may want to alternate / stripe the skeins.
Block / wash in lukewarm water with some wool wash, and lay flat to dry. Artyarns set their dyes with steaming and thoroughly rinsing but differing water temperatures and chemicals can cause some dye to bleed in any yarn.
If you're pairing light and dark colours, we recommend washing your swatch first to test for colour-fastness. -
