Laines du Nord Vasto

Laines du Nord

Vasto

100% wool

Aran

A 100% Merino Gentile wool yarn from Puglia with Short Yarn, sourced from sheep raised in Italy. With an intermediate thickness and slight stretch, Vasto snuggles in colder seasons. There is zero pilling and, once processed, it is very soft and fluffy. Although it appears slightly dry to the touch, it fills the work well. Suitable for caps, wide cardigans, warm pullovers and sport sweaters. Ideal for braid, bobble stitch, or Fair Isle, versatile, it flows well on the needles.

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.
