Chunky Wool Itala with Alpaca – with viscose · 150 m / 100 g · needle size 5–6.5 mm

All amounts are approximate. How much you actually need depends on the pattern, size, gauge, and knitting technique.

Some yarns look different in bright light than in the shade. The viscose in this one gives it a subtle sheen that you only notice once your finished piece is lying in front of you. 150 m per 100 g, needle size 5–6.5 mm.

Alpaca and wool keep you warm, while acrylic and viscose make the yarn light with a fluid drape. It’s soft enough that we recommend it for children’s clothes, too. Hand wash only.

• Hand wash at 30 °C
• Do not bleach
• Dry flat
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not wring
• Steam lightly from a distance only

How many balls do I need for my project?
The “Yarn requirements” table gives approximate amounts for a hat, scarf, sweater, and cardigan. The exact amount depends on the pattern, size, and your gauge.

Does every ball weigh exactly 100 g?
100 g is the nominal weight. Due to the manufacturing process, an individual ball can vary by about ±2 g, and the yardage varies accordingly. So if your estimate for a project is tight, it’s best to plan on one extra ball.

Will the color look exactly like the photo?
We photograph our yarns in daylight and reproduce the colors as accurately as we can. But every screen displays colors a little differently, so the actual shade may vary slightly.

How much is shipping, and how long does it take?
Shipping within Germany is free – with no minimum order value. Delivery takes 2–4 business days.

Can I return the yarn?
In addition to your statutory right of withdrawal, we offer a voluntary return policy: you can send back unused balls with the ball band intact within 30 days of receipt. You pay the return shipping costs.

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is a medium (Aran) yarn and easy to work with on 5–6.5 mm needles. Small irregularities in your stitches will hardly show.
