Worsted

A cloud-soft blend of merino, alpaca, cotton and polyester makes GALAXY a yarn with a unique character. Mellow gradients, a fine fleece and tweed nups provide visual excitement in the ball, but when you work with it the different elements all contribute towards a harmonious balance that will make every project sing.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
