Cashmere Merino Yarn by Profilo MATILDA is a luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 15% cashmere and 85% merino wool, with approximately 750 meters per 100 g. This refined Italian yarn is soft, lightweight, warm, and elegant — perfect for delicate lacework, lightweight garments, shawls, scarves, and refined accessories.

This yarn is fine enough to create airy, delicate fabrics, but the merino/cashmere blend gives it more warmth, softness, and wearability than plain wool lace yarn. For hand knitting, I recommend starting with 2 strands for the best balance of softness, body, and practical fabric.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
MATILDA is a beautiful Italian cashmere-merino blend for knitters who want softness and warmth without the price of 100% cashmere. The 15% cashmere adds a more luxurious hand, while the merino wool gives elasticity, stability, and everyday practicality.

This yarn is especially valuable because it can be used in different ways. One strand is excellent for delicate lacework and very fine fabrics, while two strands create a more practical hand-knitting weight for lightweight sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and shawls.

It is a refined, versatile yarn that gives you luxury feel, warmth, and flexibility in one cone.

✧ Fiber Profile
• Cashmere: adds softness, warmth, and luxury feel
• Merino Wool: adds elasticity, comfort, and structure
• Blend: soft, lightweight, warm, and easier to use than many ultra-fine cashmere yarns

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
This is a fine lace weight yarn. It can be used in one strand for delicate lacework, airy shawls, fine scarves, and lightweight accessories.

For comfortable hand knitting and more wearable garments, I recommend starting with 2 strands. Two strands will give the yarn more body, better structure, and a softer fuller fabric while still keeping the project lightweight.

This yarn is also excellent for machine knitting, crochet, weaving, and blending with other fine yarns.
