New colors in our favorite Katia yarns!

Italian yarn company Katia has long been known for their unique yarns and modern European designs. We’ve recently gotten very excited about two very special yarns from Katia: Katia Cotton-Merino Yarn and Katia Air Lux Yarn. Initially drawn to their intriguing appearance and uncommon chain construction, we quickly realized there’s more to these yarns than just a pretty face. After making a few things (and reading Clara Parkes’ great in-depth “Knitter’s Review” of Katia Cotton-Merino), we can’t get enough – so now we’re bringing you new colors in these yummy yarns…

Katia Air Lux Yarn has been captivating just about everyone who walks past it in the shop. This elegant looking fingering weight viscose/merino blend knits and weaves up into beautiful, wearable items with just the right amount of sparkle. Fluffy merino wool peeks out from a thin, shiny viscose tube, softening the metallic appearance and adding a pleasant amount of loftiness. A perfect all-season yarn, it’s light and soft enough for summer against bare skin, and will still keep you warm.

Katia Cotton-Merino Yarn is an Aran weight cotton/merino blend with a unique personality. This yarn also consists of a tiny knitted tube, this one made from cotton and filled with soft, fuzzy merino. Not only does this provide tantalizing texture, but it also makes for comfortable multi-season garments. Cotton Merino is great for knitted or woven projects, from accessories to sweaters. Available in both solid and tonal gradient colors.
