Muse Aran
Be prepared to be inspired by the hand-painted masterpieces of Muse, our artfully crafted superwash aran weight Merino wool yarn from Japan. The wonderfully soft and touchable Merino is firmly twisted in a single strand, stable enough to discourage splitting and pilling, while still enjoying the finish and drape of single-ply construction—with special care taken to ensure even thickness. At approx. 8 wraps per inch, the yard-to-weight ratio can be deceiving, with extra weight from the dense twist knitting into a satisfying and substantial fabric. With machine washable convenience, you'll enjoy easy care hats, cowls, and accessories with next-to-skin softness, or sweaters and garments bursting with color.
Meticulously hand-dyed by artisans, each skein of Muse is a study in the art of masterful color blending. The multi-colored hand-painted colorways are achieved by the blending of just 3 basic colors, applied with precision, which minimizes the streaking and pooling other hand-painted yarns are prone to. Functioning almost as solids, our tonal varieties are ideal for use in projects that feature textural stitches and cables, as the subtle variations in tone emphasize stitches and bring extra depth.
Please note: As a hand-painted yarn, colors may vary from skein to skein.
