One of many 2019 products in the new

Rico Creative family, Soft Wool Print Aran

is presented in 22 variegated shades that

match each other perfectly. It’s a pleasing

mix of 75% acrylic and 25% wool, and

delivers smooth definition to your knitted

fabric with a soft finish. Soft Wool Print

Aran is especially good for textured stitch

patterns, such as lace and cable, because of

its rewarding medium twist and matt finish.

Enjoy its surprising softness, with a touch of

wool added for texture and definition. This

versatile, aran-weight yarn comes with a

varied winter pattern collection, filled with

blankets, jumpers and accessories.

Why not start the weekend with a heavenly,

budget-friendly yarn that’s oh-so light on

your skin? Baby Merino is a delicate 4ply

that definitely isn’t just for babies (although

babies and children will love anything you

create in it!) – its super-softness brings

a touch of luxury to your own wardrobe

too. This 100% Merino wool comes in six

considered shades, and can be machine

washed and dried flat without compromising

the delicate nature of your knitted item or

garment. We highly recommend it for fine-

detail patterns and creative colourwork

where excellent stitch definition is a must

and quality shouldn’t be compromised on.
