Silky Wool

80% merino20% silk

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.

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.
