Hygge is a yarn built on a precise material balance, where natural fibers and textile technology meet to create comfort, stability and durability. The name recalls the Nordic concept of domestic well-being and shared warmth-a feeling that arises precisely from the balance between softness, functionality and quality of material.
Its composition combines alpaca, prized for its softness and thermal capacity, with Tencel™ Lyocell, a cellulosic fiber known for its silky hand and more sustainable approach to production, and a technical component that helps improve strength and durability. This fiber architecture makes for a lightweight yet textured , soft, warm yarn suitable for year-round pampering because the pieces you can make are perfect for both winter and summer (perhaps for an evening when the air is cooler). The light bouclé effect then gives the look of an astrakhan fur and winks at all those who of fur coats love the aesthetics but for the love of animals would never buy one.

Raw materials used in DHG's yarns are selected and purchased from areas of the world where each specific fiber expresses the best natural and performance qualities. Depending on the type, the fibers come from vocated and traditionally specialized regions, chosen to ensure high standards of purity, fineness and textile performance.
Once selected, the fibers enter a transformation process that combines technical expertise and craftsmanship savoir-faire. In fact, yarns such as Hygge are made through careful twisting, much of it carried out with a still highly artisanal approach in the textile district of Prato, a historic international center for fiber processing.
This balance between global sourcing and local processing allows the characteristics of each fiber to be maximized, resulting in yarns that combine quality, identity, and manufacturing tradition.
By its very nature Hygge is irregular but the result of the workmanship is overall linear and compact. It is worked with needles and crochet hooks of medium thickness, around 4.
With knitting needles: plain knitting is ideal because you can see all the stitches well despite the uneven surface of the yarn.
Withcrochet: in addition to low knitting, higher knits can also be worked, but great dexterity and experience are needed.
Tips for working and care.
Our colors generally have high lightfastness and washfastness. Exceptions are fluorescent colors which have low lightfastness and may release color in the presence of alkaline or harsh soaps and with prolonged washing. The same applies to dark and bright colors. In all these cases it’s essential to test a small sample before starting the project, especially if these materials are combined with raw or light-colored fibers. In any case, it’s always good practice to dry finished items away from direct sunlight, preferably in shade.
A practical tip: Buying balls or spools of different baths can cause what is known as the barred effect: subtle variations in shade that seem invisible when comparing balls and spools, but become apparent once worked. Therefore, always be sure to buy some yarn in excess of what is needed for your project. We will be sure to send you spools and balls of the same lot.
