Do you know about this special yarn?

Have you tried Merino Cloud from Artyarns yet? This yarn is so special and so wonderful. I want to share it with you and also share some project ideas for it.

Here are a few of the colors of Merino Cloud that we have in stock.

Merino Cloud is a hand-painted yarn from Artyarns. It is a blend of 80% Merino wool and 20% cashmere. It is soft and light and gorgeous. It is technically a sport weight but you can use it at a lot of different gauges. It is wonderful for shawls, tops and sweaters. It is a dream to knit or crochet with and so lovely to wear. The colors are incredible.

Here are some pattern ideas for you that are perfect for Merino Cloud.

The MiZZoni Vest from Lindsay Degan is inspired by the Italian fashion house, Missoni. The vest is fun and pretty and would add a vibrant pop of color to your wardrobe. It would be fun to knit with a couple of skeins of the ombre or striping colors of Merino Cloud. The pattern is available in the store or from Ravelry.

The Vellichor sweater from Andrea Mowry looks amazing in a solid and self-striping color of Merino Cloud. Our customer Lori made it a little while back and it turned out so well that I had to put it on my "to make" list. This sweater is simple and fun to make. It uses the Mosaic color work technique, which is easy to do.

I get so many compliments on my Alpine Bloom sweater from Caitlin Hunter. It is perfect in Merino Cloud. I used one of the ombré colorways and a solid for mine and I love how it turned out. It is incredibly comfortable to wear too.

Merino Cloud is perfect for shawls and there are lots of patterns that you could use it for. Here are a couple of my favorites.

The Good Vibes shawl from Nadia Crétine-Lechénne is a favorite of mine. This shawl would be luxurious in one of the tonal colors and a self-striping or ombré colorway. The combo of garter stitch and lace stitch makes this shawl extra pretty.

This beautiful Merino Cloud Taj Triangle shawl from Iris Schreier is gorgeous and was designed specifically for Merino Cloud. You could use two tonal colors or a tonal and an ombré for this shawl. Isn't it pretty?!

All of these patterns are available in the store and on Ravelry. If you need help with color combinations for any of the projects, just reach out to me. I'm happy to help you.
