One of our most luxurious yarns, Arietta is a light and airy lace weight wool and silk blend. Its subtle colour variation adds texture and depth to lace knitting, and the generous yardage makes it possible to knit a scarf with just 50g of yarn, or a shawl or stole with 100g.
We recommend using a swift when winding this yarn. If you don't have access to one, we can into cakes before shipping for a small fee.
