Marte 2/28 1400m/100g (1531yds/3.5oz) – 70% Merino Wool, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere

Elevated softness in every strand — Marte 2/28 by Carriagi blends superfine merino, pure silk, and a touch of cashmere into a gossamer yarn that feels both refined and tactile. With its fluid drape and whisper-soft texture, this yarn is perfect for graceful silhouettes, elegant layering, and next-to-skin luxury.

The high merino content adds structure and breathability, while silk brings luminosity and flow. Cashmere finishes the composition with delicate warmth. Due to its fine gauge, Marte is best used in three or more strands to achieve body, softness, and stitch definition without compromising lightness.
