The best wool to knit a shawl
A shawl is a versatile and elegant garment that can complement any outfit, whether for a special occasion or for everyday wear. Here we offer you a selection of the best yarns to knit a shawl, carefully chosen to guarantee quality, softness and exceptional results.
Merino wool: Merino wool is known for its softness and delicacy. It is an ideal choice for knitting a shawl due to its lightness and its ability to retain heat. This wool provides a luxurious feel and excellent warmth without being bulky. In addition, merino wool is available in a wide range of colors, allowing you to find the perfect shade for your shawl.
Alpaca: Alpaca wool is extremely soft and warm. It is lightweight, insulating and perfect for wrapping up in a cozy shawl. Alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic and non-itchy, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. Alpaca wool also has a natural luster that gives your shawl an elegant and sophisticated look.
Silk: Silk is a luxurious and elegant material that can add a special touch to your shawl. Silk wool blended with other fibers, such as merino or alpaca, combines the softness of wool with the lightness and luster characteristic of silk. This creates a beautifully draped shawl with a silky finish, perfect for special occasions.
Fiber blends: In addition to the above options, we also offer a variety of fiber blends that combine different types of wool to obtain unique characteristics. These blends may include merino wool, alpaca, silk and other natural fibers. These combinations provide additional benefits, such as increased strength, durability and interesting textures.
