\item blah 2

\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

This gives

  1. blah 1 222dfhkvnuittvriebvnytbyrteoy marcus polo texas polo fg polo polo marco bolo marco bolo marco bolo marco bolo.

  2. blah 2

However intend to start the second line of each item from below the item number.

Maybe this link helps. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/680058/278534

Secondly how to adjust space between item number and start of the item

Use labelsep= locally at the start of the list structure environment or globally within \setlist. For \setlist see section 5 of the `enumitem https://mirrors.mit.edu/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf

For example, you could use \setlist[enumerate]{labelsep=2em} in the preamble after loading the enumitem package or, in the document body, \begin{enumerate}[labelsep=2em].

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
%\pagestyle{plain}
%\usepackage[top=0.7 in,bottom=0.5 in,left=0.6 in,right=0.6 in]{geometry}
%\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
%\setlength\parindent{0pt} % Removes all indentation from paragraphs 
%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.10} %line spacing
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[enumerate]{labelsep=2em}
%\usepackage{parskip}

\begin{document}
%\setlist[enumerate]{label={\arabic*.}}


\begin{enumerate}[label={\arabic*.},labelsep=2em]


\item blah 1 222dfhkvnuittvriebvnytbyrteoy marcus polo texas polo fg polo polo marco bolo marco bolo marco bolo marco bolo
\item blah 2


\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

\begin{document}
%\setlist[enumerate]{label={\arabic*.}}

\begin{enumerate}[wide, labelwidth=20pt, labelindent=0pt]

\item \kant[1]
\item test

\begin{enumerate}[wide, leftmargin=20pt, labelwidth=20pt, labelindent=23pt]
%\item \kant[3]
\item so far so good

\begin{enumerate}[wide, leftmargin=29pt, labelwidth=20pt, labelindent=28pt, label={(\roman*)}]
%\itemindent=0em

\item \kant[5]
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

This solved the situation
