As a roving yarn made from 100 % baby alpaca, AURORA offers you warmth and softness for your next project. The colour palette evolves harmoniously, now with delicate shades, then sometimes merging abruptly. This colourplay brings to mind heavenly phenomena - from serene sunrises to vibrant auroras and dramatic sunsets. With Aurora, knitting and crochet projects become ethereal artworks, capturing the ephemeral splendour of nature.

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.
