Merino Cloud is a very soft yarn, unlike any other comparable yarn, because of the incredibly high quality of the cashmere used to produce it. It has a great deal of loft. It is soft enough to be worked as a fingering weight on size 5 needles (yielding 5.5 sts per inch) or as a heavy fingering on size 6 needles (yielding 5 sts per inch), or as a dk weight on size 7 needles (yielding 4.5 sts per inch).

Because of the loft in the yarn in fills in nicely and does not result in too-holey fabric. Because of the softness in the yarn, it can actually be knitted even on size 0 needles, and would still not be too stiff.
