Worsted

Let your creativity run wild with hand-dyed colours, which are beautifully enhanced by the silky sheen of the Suri alpaca fibres. Because we are talking about a hand-dyed yarn, for larger projects we recommend working with 2 skeins of MUSE at a time, alternately knitting 2 rows of each to achieve a more even effect.

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.
