Worsted

POSEIDON, an easy-care all-purpose yarn composed of a high quality wool blend, is the big brother of ATLANTIS. The long staple wool of the Corriedale sheep blended with acrylic makes a particularly hard-wearing yarn. By scanning the QR code on the ball band, you can track the journey of the yarn right back to the farm, thanks to our Trace your Yarn programme.

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.
