About Lang Yarns Cloud

Cloud from Lang Yarns is 90% superwash virgin extrafine merino and 10% nylon, with 284 yards (260 meters) in a 100 g ball. It's a bulky (chunky) weight.

Its selling point is color. Each colorway moves from one shade into the next, so the stripes and transitions build as you knit. Some are multi-color, like Petrol / Turquoise / Purple / Light Green, and others stay closer to one family, such as Rose, Blue or Green. There are 20 colorways in all.

Because it's superwash and machine washable, it's practical as well as cheerful, and suits knitters and crocheters who want an easy-care gradient garment or accessory.

Best for

Wraps and scarves
Hats and cowls
Easy-care gifts

Working with it

Lang suggests a US 10.5 (7 mm) needle for 13 stitches and 20 rows in stockinette to 4 inches. The color changes follow the rows, so wide rows stretch the bands and narrow ones squeeze them together. For sleeves or socks that match, start each piece from the same point in the color sequence. Superwash wool can relax and grow after washing, so wash and dry your swatch before measuring.

Care

Lang lists machine wash up to 30°C (86°F) with wool detergent and no softener. Dry flat to keep the garment from stretching.
