Concept by KATIA Atenea Tones

Atenea Tones from Concept by Katia is a light, softly brushed lace-weight yarn of 42% extrafine merino, 40% Mako cotton and 18% cashmere. Long-cycle multicolor dyeing moves slowly from one shade to the next, so a single ball gives gentle, painterly transitions without any color changes on your part. The brushed finish gives a hazy, mohair-like halo without the need to hold a second strand, and the cotton keeps it breathable. At 191 yards per 25 g ball, it knits very light, airy garments and accessories.
