Bulky

For stargazers and moon worshippers, we have created the yarn ORION - inspired by the subtle shades of the Orion Nebula in the constellation of the same name. This generous ball of extrafine merino wool is reminiscent of a lofty cloud, and it flies off the needles like a shooting star in the night sky, thanks to a chunky needle size of 6-7 mm. Don’t forget to make a wish!

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.
