Cariaggi Merisilk 2/120 is a refined Italian yarn blending 70% extrafine merino wool with 30% silk, combining the elasticity and softness of fine merino with the natural lustre and fluid drape of silk. Spun in a 2/120 Nm construction, this exceptionally fine yarn produces lightweight fabrics with a smooth, even surface and beautifully defined stitches.
The merino provides warmth, resilience, and excellent shape retention, while the silk enhances the yarn with a subtle sheen, increased strength, and a luxurious next-to-skin feel. The result is a yarn that creates elegant, breathable knitwear with a graceful drape, making it ideal for fine sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, and lightweight accessories. Supplied on a cone, Merisilk is equally suited to hand knitting, machine knitting, and weaving, delivering the premium quality and craftsmanship for which Cariaggi is renowned.
