Aurelia

Cotton and wool are familiar partners, but Berroco Aurelia brings them together in an unusual way. A delicate cotton chainette holds soft merino wool fibers inside, creating a remarkably lightweight worsted-weight yarn with an interesting interplay of texture and color.

The cotton core remains visible, surrounded by a fine halo of merino fibers that adds a soft wash of color without making the yarn look fuzzy or fluffy. Aurelia feels exceptionally soft in the hank, and its airy construction gives it substance without much weight.

The fine merino fibers have a tendency to grip one another, giving Aurelia a cohesive feel that may contribute to a stable knitted fabric. It's an appealing choice for sweaters, cardigans, wraps, and other pieces where you want the look of a substantial yarn without the weight of a heavy finished garment.
