PIUMA means feather in Italian, and that is exactly how this yarn feels to the touch. A strong nylon core gives stability, while a fluffy coat of dyed merino wool and white cotton creates a subtle mélange effect. When knitted, it is reminiscent of cuddly teddy fabric, making it ideal for warm cardigans, sweaters or accessories with volume and a soft texture. Especially good: the purl side reminds us of bouclé, thus opening up even more creative possibilities.
