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.

Denser per gram. Springy wool instead of drapey fibre: more spring and memory — expect a bouncier fabric. 9 sts instead of 7, on a 9 mm needle rather than 10 mm — close, maybe it will work. We recommend swatching!.

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.
