Merino & Cashmere Sweaters
M2 is 70% mulesing-free merino and 30% Grade-A cashmere — the middle ground, and by a distance our most ordered yarn. Pure cashmere is lovely and delicate; pure merino is honest and hard-wearing. This blend keeps most of the merino structure and takes on the softness and slight bloom that people actually mean when they say a sweater feels expensive.
What you are buying
- 70% merino wool (mulesing-free), 30% Grade-A cashmere
- Warmth: medium — a clear step up from M1 without the weight of a heavy knit
- Surface: soft with a light halo, brushes up rather than staying flat
- Care: hand wash cold, dry flat, do not wring
- Pilling: more than M1 in the first weeks because of the cashmere; comb it off and it stops
Who it suits
Anyone who wants one sweater that covers the whole winter rather than a different garment for every temperature. It layers under a coat without bulk and still reads as soft if you wear it on its own.
Compared with our other yarns
M1 is harder wearing and cooler. M3 is all cashmere — lighter, warmer for its weight, and more demanding to care for. M4 is machine washable. If you are choosing between M2 and M3 and the sweater will be worn often, take M2.
Every piece is knitted to your own four measurements — chest, shoulder, body length and sleeve — after you order, not pulled from a shelf. Twelve colours at no extra charge. Knitting takes 2–3 weeks, then 5–10 business days of tracked delivery to the United States or Canada, duties and import taxes are payable by the customer on delivery.
