Arcade

Arcade — Handspun 50% Merino 50% Tencel Aran Yarn

Spun on a whim and too good to keep — Arcade started as a roving purchased for a personal project that never quite materialized, and ended up becoming something worth sharing. A 50/50 blend of merino and Tencel, handspun to a cozy aran weight with a smooth, slightly silky finish that makes it an absolute pleasure to work with.

Merino brings the warmth and bounce, while Tencel — a plant-based fiber made from sustainably sourced wood pulp — adds a cool, fluid drape and a subtle sheen that gives this yarn an unexpected elegance for an aran weight.
