Super Bulky

With its alpaca-merino mix, SHIRLEY blooms when knitted into a fluffy, furry surface. The yarn gives projects volume and the mélange optic also adds a particular depth of color. Ideal for statement knits, where substance is key.

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.
