A totally endearing yarn, it is very soft in your hands and supple on your needles! The wool lends body to the yarn so that it's airy and lofty, while the cotton adds a pleasant weight so that your finished knits hang beautifully.

Plein Air also knits up into a satisfyingly even fabric. A light worsted (or DK) weight, Plein Air knits up to 5.25- 5.75 stitches per inch. On the lighter side of a medium weight yarn, it's not too thick and not thin, not too bulky and not too skimpy In fact, perfect! Plein Airs colors have a gorgeous heathered quality that comes from the slight difference in how the wool and cotton absorb dye.
