Piuma Fancy is a soft, enveloping yarn that blends alpaca and wool into a light, airy texture. The addition of nylon enhances stability, making it ideal for warm yet lightweight garments. Rich, irregular surfaces enhance even simple stitches, adding volume and a refined touch.

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.
