Aran

PIUMA means feather in Italian, and that is exactly how this yarn feels to the touch. A strong nylon core gives stability, while a fluffy coat of dyed merino wool and white cotton creates a subtle mélange effect. When knitted, it is reminiscent of cuddly teddy fabric, making it ideal for warm cardigans, sweaters or accessories with volume and a soft texture. Especially good: the purl side reminds us of bouclé, thus opening up even more creative possibilities.

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.
