We’re always on the lookout for plant and animal fiber blends, since they offer the best of both worlds: elasticity and drape, structure and coolness.
Merilin blends merino wool and linen, fibers that take the dye differently, giving the yarn a heathered quality more pronounced in the darker shades.
Years ago, I knit this little swatch showing Merilin on a range of needle sizes, but I have my eye on a bigger project as soon as time allows – a narrower version of Theresa Gaffey’s now-classic “stole.” I can’t wait to pick out colors!
Til then, what else to make with Merilin? Here are a few ideas…
- “Moon Set Tee,” by Ozetta – drop shoulder v-neck tee
- “Dingley Dell,” by Isabell Kraemer – two color striped v-neck tee
- “Outline Tee,” by Jessie Maed – cropped tee with drop-stitch detail
- “Outline Tank,” by Jessie Maed – cropped tank with drop-stitch detail
- “Camisole No. 5,” by My Favorite Things – ribbed tank
- “Simple Stripes,” by SuviKnits – five color striped pullover
- “Ribbed Jumper,” by Anne Ventzel – broken rib raglan pullover, holding Merilin + Isager Silk Mohair together throughout
Look for Merilin in the fingering weight section here at the shop, where you may well find your next project. See you there!
