ILLUSION

ball band: "DK" · hand wash

55% cotton 45% viscose

DK

ILLUSION, a mix of cotton and bamboo viscose, stands out for its unique color effect. Each strand is printed separately with the same dye repeat, before being twisted together, which produces ever-changing combinations of color throughout the yarn. When knitted or crocheted, this mouliné construction creates a fabric with even colour distribution and a shimmering, almost hypnotic effect, similar to a mirage.

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.
