SilkyMerino is an elegant and refined Italian yarn combining the exceptional softness of extra fine merino wool with the natural beauty and subtle sheen of silk.
The blend of 75% Extra Fine Merino Wool and 25% Silk creates a soft, smooth and pleasant fabric with beautiful drape. Merino provides warmth, elasticity and comfort, while silk adds softness, strength and an elegant, delicate lustre.
With 400 m per 100 g, SilkyMerino is a lightweight and versatile yarn suitable for both everyday garments and more sophisticated projects. The generous yardage allows you to create garments that feel light and comfortable without sacrificing warmth.
The yarn works beautifully in simple stockinette stitch, where the silk can reveal its natural sheen, as well as in lace, textured patterns and delicate cables.
What Can You Make with SilkyMerino?
SilkyMerino is particularly suitable for:
Sweaters and pullovers
Lightweight cardigans
Tops and elegant blouses
Vests
Shawls and wraps
Scarves
Lightweight dresses
Lace projects
Accessories worn close to the skin
The yarn works beautifully in stockinette stitch, lace patterns, ribbing, delicate cables and textured stitches.
For an airy and flowing fabric, choose slightly larger needles. For more defined stitches and structured patterns, use smaller needles and a denser gauge.
SilkyMerino can also be combined with a strand of kid mohair or another fine companion yarn to create additional volume, softness and a delicate halo.
