With a mélange texture that adds character, it is perfect for both men's and women's sporty aran sweaters and braided, diamond, and multicolored knits. In this 2 Ply version, the twist makes the yarn thicker and stronger, perfect for cozy and durable pieces like sweaters, cardigans, and accessories.

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.
