Description
This yarn is very soft, warm, and fluffy. A true delight to the touch. The colors are also really amazing.
Our Sierra yarn is dedicated to all those who wish to use high quality products, without sacrificing their creative freedom.
It is perfect for creating both accessories and articles of clothing. It is unisex.
You can find the Sierra on offer because these colours have been yarn dyed and the results are not what you would expect.
In fact, this process has slightly altered the colour and the yarn has lost some of its volume.
Nevertheless, in our opinion, it remains a beautiful yarn. Furthermore, when the yarn is worked it tends to expand again and come back to life. We have therefore decided to recommend it. obviously at a special price!
It’s definitely worth it.
Techniques
Sierra can be worked with large-gauge knitting needles and crochet hooks. It's also suitable for weaving, embroidery, tufting and needlepunch.
Tips
With knitting needles: Stockinette stitch and ribbed patterns, whether smooth or textured, look stunning.
With a crochet hook: The ideal stitch is single crochet. The loop stitch in raised fur-like texture works perfectly too.
On the loom: we wove this yarn on a rigid heddle loom with a 24:10 reed (2.4 ends/cm). This yarn is strong and easy to weave, perfect for both warp and weft. The final fabric is soft, warm, and ideal for fashion projects, blankets, runners, or cushions. The fringes created with this yarn are especially lovely.
