Rico Design Light & Long DK

Rico Design Light & Long DK is a fluffy yarn with a high volume but wonderfully light weight. It is composed of a blend of cotton with acrylic and polyamide, spun for maximum softness.

The fibers are plaited to form a tubular strand, which gives a high fluffiness with a light weight. Because it is such a fluffy yarn, the stitches of your sewing piece will be marked to form a nice texture.

Moreover, the yarn mixes different colors in a gradient way, to get gradients with fluid transitions. You will start knitting in one color and finish in another, while passing through gradients of different shades. You will fall in love with the result!

It is a suitable yarn for knitting light jackets, sweaters, shawls, tops and many other ideas for spring and summer as well as autumn and winter.
