100g. 35% Wool, 25% Viscose, 20% Acrylic, 20% Polyamide. Aran.
The blend of wool, viscose, and polyamide gives this yarn a pleasingly rustic, slightly tweedy feel on the needles, and it holds cables and textured stitches cleanly without the fabric becoming stiff. At 5mm on an aran weight, it works up at a firm 12 stitches to 10cm, making gauge straightforward to hit. The viscose content adds a subtle drape that prevents aran-weight fabric from feeling too blocky.
Well suited to cable-panel jumpers, weekend cardigans, and slouchy hats where that earthy, woodland texture earns its place. It also works nicely for cushion covers and small home accessories where a bit of natural fibre character is welcome.
The palette leans into forest and heathered tones — expect greens, rusts, earthy neutrals, and muted blues that suit the yarn’s textured character.
