Aran

Silky Wool is for those who love to create elegant and original sweaters, twin sets, stoles, and shawls. This yarn combines the refined luster of Mulberry silk with anti-pilling New Zealand merino wool. Merino wool stands out for its excellent insulating properties and hairlessness, while the shiny contrast of silk adds a frosted effect that simulates movement and gives dynamism to garments.
