Worsted

With its silk-based composition, LUMA permits the playful interaction of luster and light. In combination with alpaca and wool a fine, wavy structure is produced, which gives the knitted fabric an elegant, softly reflective quality with tangible depths. The shimmer varies subtly with every movement and fluctuation in light. LUMA is a yarn for timeless knitted pieces, where fabric, drape and elegance are of the essence.

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: 1484 yarns · 57 brands · 142 without gauge · 344/1490 gauge rows missing row count.
