Filcolana - Arwetta Classic

Arwetta is a super soft and durable yarn, spun from 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon.

Arwetta is first and foremost developed for knitting solid and durable knitwear for children. If you want super soft handknitted socks, Arwetta is also a great choice. Overall Arwetta is a yarn full of possibilities for most kind of knitwear - try knitting Arwetta with two or more strands at once, or together with some of our other yarn qualities. Only your imagination can set limits for the creativity when you begin playing with all the colours. 

The merino wool used in Arwetta is mulesing free. 

For socks you'll need two skeins of Arwetta Classic. We recommend a small needle size (2-2,5 mm) for socks to get a tight gauge. You can find lots of free knitting patterns for Arwetta in Filcolana pages.
