Feather-light, impossibly soft, and unlike anything else in your stash — Cloud Merino is a 100% superfine Merino Onde yarn (also known as Flette in Europe), meaning it's braided rather than twisted. That unique braided structure gives it a beautiful wavy texture straight off the ball, so the yarn itself does all the work. Knits up on 6mm needles. At 19.5 microns, it's genuinely next-to-skin soft.
Onde (Spanish for "wavy") and Flette (the European name for the same braided construction) refers to the way the yarn is made — it's braided, not twisted like a standard ply yarn, and it's definitely not a bouclé. The result is a yarn with a natural, built-in texture and incredible lightness. Because the structure already provides so much visual interest, it works best with simple stitches — garter stitch and reverse stocking stitch are ideal, letting the yarn's character shine without competing with complex stitch patterns.
