DHG | SIERRA

Sierra is a soft, contemporary yarn that combines the precious softness of baby alpaca with the resilience of merino wool and a light structure that gives volume without weighing it down. The result is a warm, airy and pleasantly fluffy yarn, perfect for creating wrap-around garments with a soft hand and extraordinary comfort. Ideal for knitting and crochet, it gives rich, light textures capable of enhancing any project with natural elegance.

What is a "soffilo"?
A soffilo is a special type of yarn made by blowing fibers inside a very fine knit tubular. This unique construction results in an incredibly soft, light and fluffy yarn. The fibers are trapped gently in the tubular, with the ends protruding slightly, creating an elegant "halo" effect.
Here's how it works in detail:
- Mesh tubular: at the center of the gusset is a thin mesh tubular, often made of polyamide (nylon), which gives structure and elasticity.
- Fiber filling: fibers-such as wool, alpaca or blends-are blown inside the tubular, distributing themselves evenly.
- Adherence: the fibers stay inside the tubular without needing to be spun, resulting in a light but bulky yarn.
- Appearance and texture: the ends of the fibers remain slightly exposed, giving the yarn its characteristic softness and a delicate "fluff" effect.
Why choose a blown yarn?
Blown yarns offer several advantages:
- they are super soft and gentle on the skin
- they are lightweight yet warm
- they have a very good yield (more meters per gram)
- easy to work with, perfect for a modern, airy look in both knitting and crochet.
