Certifications and claims as stated by each brand.

Bulky

AVALON is a cloud of extrafine merino wool, stabilised by a dense, spun core. This creates a yarn that is at once soft and fluffy, and also surprisingly strong. Like the legendary Isle of Avalon, lying hidden in mist, the yarn has a mysterious, slightly intangible surface. An extraordinary yarn for knitting projects, combining softness and structure with a hint of mysticism.

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.
