Merino Yarn by Profilo WISH is a premium Italian lace weight yarn made from 100% Extra Fine Merino, with approximately 1350 meters per 100 g. This refined multi-ply Italian yarn combines exceptional softness, elegant stitch definition, strength, and versatility in an ultra-fine luxury merino construction designed for multi-strand knitting, machine knitting, weaving, and sophisticated lightweight garments.

WISH is an especially practical fine yarn because of its smooth multi-ply structure. Unlike brushed or fuzzy yarns, it produces clean stitch definition, polished fabric surfaces, and beautiful drape while remaining soft and comfortable directly against the skin.

The ASFALT CHARCOAL colorway gives this yarn a refined deep charcoal tone with a modern luxury feel — elegant, versatile, and timeless.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
WISH stands out because it combines luxury softness with exceptional practicality and versatility.

The smooth multi-ply construction makes this yarn ideal for projects where stitch clarity and polished fabric matter. Unlike brushed yarns that can blur texture, WISH allows lace, cables, stockinette, and colorwork to remain clean and beautifully defined.

Because the yarn is extremely fine, it gives makers tremendous control over the final fabric. By adjusting strand count, you can create everything from lightweight fingering fabrics to sport and light DK fabrics while maintaining softness and elegant drape.

This yarn is especially appealing for knitters who enjoy refined lightweight garments, machine knitting, custom fabric building, luxury layering pieces, and sophisticated everyday knitwear.

Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

⚑ FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.

⚑ FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.

PLEASE BUY CONES HERE

Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

Please Note

Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
