New Mulberry Merino Colors!
Simple but very special, our Mulberry Merino has a smart spin, a sumptuous feel, and a gentle luster. It is this shine that gives Mulberry Merino such depth and richness, making it one of our favorite yarns for color play!
This season we’ve added nine gorgeous new colors to the Mulberry Merino family, starting with subtle Wheat Flour, above. A little oat-ier than cream but paler than beige, it radiates a warm light that couldn’t be more elegant.
Apricot Tea and Baby Fawn, above, add a nutty, earthy tone to the palette. Like colors from a sun-dappled forest, these feel alive with nature’s pulse. Apricot Tea is a dusty peach with an inner glow, while Baby Fawn is a beautiful rosy, coppery brown.
Turmeric Yellow brings spice. Incredibly rich and luminous, this deep yellow, teetering on orange, adds flavor to colorwork or makes a delicious dish on its own.
And we welcome three new colors come from the red region of the color wheel: Peony Pink, Persimmon Orange, and Burnt Sienna. They range from demure to brazen, but each is perfectly lovely.
Peach Stone, above, and Field Mouse, below, round out the world of complex, borderless neutrals. Peach Stone brings purple overtones to peachy-brown, while Field Mouse achieves just the right balance of warmth and clarity.
Together, these new colors are subtle and sophisticated, elusive and evocative. They are shells from your favorite shore, blossoms from your favorite garden, notes from your favorite song. Enjoy each and every one!
Our classic Top-Down Turtleneck Cardigan is gorgeous in Baby Fawn, but would be just as amazing in any of our Mulberry Merino colors. Browse them all here!
Is there any pullover sweater pattern that would work with the Mulberry Merino yarn? It is such beautiful yarn! Thanks!
Hi Chris,
Thanks for writing in! Great question! Our Striped Spring Sweater uses Mulberry Merino and fits the bill of a pullover sweater!
Happy knitting!

I love this yarn. I am about 1/4 of the way finished knitting a beautiful cardigan in the baby fawn color and have 7 skeins of field mouse awaiting another project. Have my eye on the burnt sienna color as well. Its the perfect weight yarn in my opinion. so soft! I hope someday you will add a mossy green color!
I agree with Sarah. Greens and Blues would be a wonderful addition to the palette!
This is beautiful yarn! I used it to make a sweater that I wear all the time because I love touching it.
A question, though: I’m nearly finished with a new project in which I’ve used both the Wheat and High Tide colorways, and I’m starting to worry that High Tide—a very saturated color—may bleed during the pre-block bath. I know that lots of folks recommend a soak with vinegar and water to avoid bleeding, but that’s for wool, right? Would it do any harm to the silk content of Mulberry Merino? If so, can you make any other suggestions to minimize the chance of bleeding?
Hi Liz,
THanks for writing in! We haven’t experienced or received any reports of bleeding or dye transfer with Mulberry Merino, but you can certainly soak silk in vinegar without harming it. If you are especially worried, you can also use a Shout Color Catcher, available in the laundry aisle of most grocery stores, in the first soak to absorb any stray dye. I don’t think you will have any problems with Mulberry Merino, but better safe than sorry!
Best,
Julianna
Would this yarn be appropriate for the Seamed Wrap pattern? If so, what would you suggest as a contrasting color if turmeric yellow is used for the MC? Thank you.
Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for writing in! Yes, Mulberry Merino is the perfect weight and a wonderful yarn to use for our Seamed Wrap! Turmeric Yellow would look lovely with either Reed Gray or Baby Fawn, or possibly even Red Plum for an extra rich color combination!
Best,
Julianna
Do you still sell Mulberry Merino yarn?
Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we have discontinued Mulberry Merino so it is no longer available, but you can find our full selection of sport weight yarns here: Sport Weight Yarns
Warmly,

I’m going to make the baby blanket that uses Good Wool on one side and Mulberry Marino on the other. What would you suggest I use in the blue family that’s equivalent to Mulberry Merino. Thanks.
Hi Robin,
Thanks for reaching out! I would suggest using Season Alpaca! It comes in a beautiful selection of blue shades and is a sport weight yarn like Mulberry Merino!
Happy knitting!
Gianna
When are you getting the green black mulberry merino yarn in .
Hi Nancy,
I’m afraid that we’ve recently had to make the difficult decision to discontinue our line of Mulberry Merino and will no longer be producing it going forward. I’m so sorry to disappoint! I’d suggest taking a look at our other sport weight yarns here. I hope this helps you with your project planning!
Warmly,
Kelsey
HELP!!!

I’m 3 rows short of halfway through the Emergent Wrap in Mulberry Merino 1592 Crocus Bud, and my first of two skeins is done. So I’ll be the teensiest bit short for the last few rows and the bind-off row. I can’t find anything anywhere that could substitute. Is there any chance that y’all have one skein of this yarn in this color lying around somewhere in storage?

I also want to say that this Mulberry Merino yarn is one of the best yarns I’ve ever used. It’s very soft and has a lovely sheen, a whole bunch of incredible colors (Burnt Sienna was my favorite crayon color when I was a kid; I used up many Burnt Sienna crayons), and fabulous stitch definition. I was only able to buy it on sale because I’m poor.

I hereby request that Purl Soho bring back Mulberry Merino yarn. Surely I’m not the only knitter who loves it passionately … am I?
Hi Hollis,
Thank you so much for reaching out about this! We’ve sent you a message directly from customerservice@purlsoho.com, so please check your email inbox.
All the best,
Lili
Thanks for responding so quickly and favorably, Lili. I’ve already emailed y’all back.
