Description
Ariel comes from the skilful mixing of very different yarns, and this is exactly what makes it fabulous. Differences, as we know, if well balanced always exhibits a richness. With yarn as with life, if you manage to harmonize the opposites, the result can be incredibly beautiful.
Ariel has a recycled cotton soul with a casual look that was fun to combine with lurex, for a touch of glam.
The result is a simple but precious yarn, easy to work with and capable of making even the most basic of pieces special. It is an outsider amongst yarns that strays from the usual fashion paths.
In addition, it is made in a semi-artisan way and is produced entirely in Tuscany and for this reason also more sustainable.
Techniques
The cotton yarn Ariel is worked with medium-thickness
knitting needles and
crochet hooks. It is also suitable for weaving and to create relief embroidery.
Tips
Both with knitting and crochet it is advisable to choose simple stitches (such as stockinette or single crochet) or in any case, not complex ones because they would not be highlighted by the varied surface, which is impressive.
The yarn can be alternated with others, as similar as possible, for patterned motifs. Try it combined with our
Pop or our
Sailorman.
