Merino Yarn

Merino is one of the most popular and finest wool fibres in the world. It is soft, and protects us from both the cold and the heat. You can find a wide variety of yarns containing merino wool at Katia. They include Katia Merino 100%, Basic Merino, Merino Aran or Merino Sport. Each of these yarns has a colour palette ranging from naturals through to pastels and bright tones.

Discover the versatility of this yarn! Furthermore, knit or crochet printed stripes, granny squares and Nordic Fair Isle patterns in fashionable colour combinations.

Printed stripes

There is a huge range of solid colours available at Katia. Thanks to this, you can knit or crochet an infinite number of multi-coloured stripe options. For example, combine turquoise, green, violet and mauve stripes to make this long youthful poncho in Merino Aran.

Crochet squares or granny squares

When it comes to crochet, we propose some granny square patterns in different colours. Like this Basic Merino crochet jumper made in an autumnal combination of natural colours.

Nordic style patterns

Finally, jumpers inspired by Nordic design are the must-knits of the season. Play with infinite colour combinations to knit Alpine border designs and geometric motifs. We propose this high neck sweater in Merino Aran with a traditional jacquard stitch yoke design.

Tips for combining colours

There’s no doubt that combining colours can sometimes be difficult. Therefore, we have a few tips to help you create the perfect colour palette. To start with, try a gradient colour effect using tones of the same colour. This is one of the easiest methods.

Additionally, you can use a neutral tone like grey, beige, white or black for the main colour. Then, combine it with other colours.

Finally, follow the colour wheel to help you combine complementary colours – like blue and orange. Remember to maintain the intensity of the colour tones.
