Indulge yourself with the most beautiful materials, which originate in nature. Zen has a beautiful, cuddly touch and an enchanting sheen. Zen contains the best of all worlds. The yarn consists of 35% Merino superfine, 35% Suri Alpaca and 30% silk. This gives the yarn an exhilarating appearance. Suri Alpaca differs from the more common Huacaya - Alpaca in the characteristics of the fibres: it is only slightly crimped and shinier. Silk is one of the oldest and most exclusive textile fibres. Zen is simply a wonderful natural product, which enjoys an exceptional position among textile materials due to its sheen and softness.

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.
