It’s fluffy and slightly fuzzy, yet compact in its structure.\u003cbr\u003eBecause it is a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eslightly twisted roving\u003c\/strong\u003e, it maintains all of the natural softness and lightness of wool while still being\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eeasy to use with knitting needles and crochet hook\u003c\/strong\u003e. What’s more, once this wool yarn is worked it tends to puff up even more and gets chunkier. Therefore, the pieces you make will not only be super warm and soft but totally cozy too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll you have to do now is try it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Piuma wool yarn you buy on thread cones is exactly the same as the Piuma in balls. However, at first glance, the yarn may appear to be of a different thickness (thinner). This is because, when wound on thread cones, the yarn is kept under tension and thus tends to become thinner. Start working with it, and you’ll notice that, as the tension is released and the yarn absorbs air, it will gradually regain its natural volume.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse  in\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse  in\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn extra tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: pure wool roving is hardly twisted if at all, therefore after the first few washes it can close up slightly (doesn’t get felted!).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf it’s your first time working with this type of wool yarn, it’s essential to make a small swatch (a few centimeters will suffice) to perform a hand-washing test in cold water or, even better, a dry clean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA test wash is also absolutely necessary if you plan to work with the Piuma wool yarn using large needles or to create lace or very open stitches, so you can adjust your needles and measurements accordingly.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DHG","offers":[{"title":"Cocoa","offer_id":47633051353262,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fog","offer_id":47633051386030,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ireland","offer_id":47633051418798,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"North Sea","offer_id":47633051451566,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shell","offer_id":47633051484334,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Snow","offer_id":47633051517102,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft Fruit","offer_id":47633051549870,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Water","offer_id":47633051582638,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/8005\/2910\/files\/Cocoa_4efa02e9-8bba-4633-b4e8-8bbddca6e7c4.png?v=1773381830","url":"https:\/\/fiberfeverco.com\/en-au\/products\/dhg-piuma-soft-fruit","provider":"Fiber Fever","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
