Enjoy that lucky feeling, when you knit with this soft and airy blend of 90 % extrafine merino wool with 10 % cashmere. What makes this yarn so special, beyond the high quality composition, is an unusual approach to colouring. Rather than dyeing the yarn, the colourfulness has been achieved by printing to produce a distinctive, lively surface which will give your creations a unique character. Apart from the aesthetics, there is also a functional purpose for using this technique, as it helps maintain the loftiness of the yarn. We recommend that you work with two balls at a time, alternating every couple of rows to maintain a nice, even distribution of color.

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.
