Piuma Metallic Merino Yarn

The Metallic collection originates from a special textured printing technique that allows brush strokes of color to be applied to the surface of the yarn. The powders used not only create a color effect but also transform the surface of the yarn, giving it a genuine metallic finish. Small details that make this yarn truly haute couture, while preserving the soft, woolly hand that characterizes all the yarns in the PIUMA collection. Techniques With knitting needles: it’s ideal for stockinette stitch and for all other textures, whether raised or openwork. However, keep in mind that because the yarn is thick, raised patterns should be evenly distributed to avoid weighing down the fabric and creating asymmetries.
