🧵 The yarn
Ermes yarn by Bertagna Filati is a natural premium product designed for those seeking garments with a soft, lofty, and skin-friendly feel. Thanks to the balanced combination of the breathable warmth of Extra-fine Merino Wool (68%) and the stable freshness of Cotton (32%), Ermes gives garments rich volume that remains surprisingly lightweight. It is the perfect choice for clothing and accessories for mid-season wear, or for those who want cozy warmth without being weighed down.
Each 50-gram ball provides 135 meters of yarn, perfect for projects using 6-7mm needles or a 6-7mm hook. The lofty structure and generous yardage ensure excellent yield with efficient ball consumption: you need about 1-2 balls (50-100g) for a soft hat; consider 3-4 balls for a cowl or scarf; and you can create an oversized cardigan or vest with 8-10 balls (400-500g).
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
Extra-fine Merino Wool (68%) is the heart of this yarn. With fibers under 19 microns in diameter, this premium wool does not itch or irritate, making it ideal even for those with particularly sensitive skin. Merino offers breathable warmth, natural thermoregulation, and extreme softness that provides comfort without suffocation. Its elastic structure ensures that garments hold their shape even after numerous washes, without deforming or pilling.
Cotton (32%) is added to provide dimensional stability and freshness. While Merino naturally tends to relax, cotton keeps the garment's structure defined and prevents excessive stretching. Furthermore, cotton absorbs moisture from the body and releases it outwards, making Ermes perfect for mid-season transitions when temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. This natural blend creates a versatile, all-purpose yarn perfect for autumn, spring, and mild winters.
📦 Ball format and yield
Each ball weighs 50 grams and contains 135 meters of yarn. This generous yield, combined with its substantial thickness (needles 6-7mm), allows you to complete projects quickly. You can make a soft hat or a pair of wrist warmers with just one ball. With 3-4 balls, you can complete a cozy cowl or a long scarf. For an oversized women's size M cardigan, plan for 8-10 balls (400-500g total).
For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing the entire amount needed in one go, ensuring balls are from the same dye lot. Although Bertagna Filati maintains high quality standards, slight color variations can occur between different lots, which are especially visible on large surfaces like sweaters or blankets. The yardage may vary by ±5% from the stated amount, which is a normal tolerance for natural yarns.
🧶 Recommended working
6-7mm needles are ideal for this yarn as they enhance its soft and lofty nature. With 6mm needles, you get a more compact and structured knit, perfect for cardigans and vests that need to maintain their shape. With 7mm needles, the fabric is softer and draped, ideal for shawls, scarves, and hats that need to be cozy without being stiff. The spinning process of Ermes gives the thread a particular tactile and visual result: the finished piece will be full, soft, and light as a cloud, with excellent stitch definition even when worked with larger needles.
Ermes also performs excellently with a 6-7mm crochet hook. The yarn structure keeps stitches defined without creating unsightly gaps, making it perfect for bags, pouches, baskets, and home accessories. If you are a beginner, this yarn is an excellent choice: the substantial thickness makes mistakes visible (so you learn to fix them immediately) and the work progresses quickly, keeping your motivation high.
✨ Why choose Ermes
Most wool-cotton blend yarns on the market use standard wools that itch or stiff cottons that make the garment rigid. Ermes solves both problems: the Extra-fine Merino Wool is so fine it feels as soft as cashmere, while the quality Cotton maintains structure without adding weight. The result is a yarn that combines the best of two worlds: warmth without suffocation, softness without deformation, and natural quality without maintenance complications.
Unlike many premium yarns that require hand washing and flat drying, Ermes is machine washable at 30°C on a delicate cycle. This makes it perfect for garments you will use often: hats, scarves, everyday cardigans. You don't have to worry about ruining it after the first wash. The Merino-Cotton combination ensures that the garment maintains its shape, color, and softness even after numerous wash cycles.
🎨 What you can create
Ermes is the ideal yarn for clothing and accessories for mid-season wear. Its soft structure and light volume make it perfect for oversized cardigans, vests, turtlenecks, cozy shawls, and soft hats. Thanks to fast working with 6-7mm needles, it is also perfect for last-minute gift projects: scarves, cowls, wrist warmers, and headbands.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
Ermes is suitable for both beginners and experts. If you are just starting with knitting or crochet, the substantial thickness (6-7mm) allows you to clearly see each stitch and progress quickly, keeping your motivation high. Mistakes are visible and therefore easy to correct immediately. If you are an expert, you will appreciate the quality of the natural fibers, the soft and lofty result, and the ease of maintenance, which allows you to create daily-use garments without worry.
This yarn is especially loved by those who work to sell or gift items: the 100% natural composition and non-itchy softness are strong selling points. Buyers typically look for a premium yet practical yarn that combines aesthetic quality with ease of use. It is perfect for hobbyists who want to create garments for themselves and their family, for artisans selling on Etsy or at markets, and for those looking for a high-quality handmade gift.

📌 Important note
The indicated yardage (135m per 50g) may vary by ±5% from the stated amount: this is a normal tolerance for natural yarns. For projects requiring multiple balls, purchase the entire quantity needed at once, selecting balls from the same dye lot to avoid visible color differences on large surfaces. Always remove excess water after washing without wringing, and lay the garment flat to dry, gently reshaping it to its original form.
