Delirium, 200 g

Cotton & Extra-Fine Merino Wool

Delirium is a delightful combination of cotton and high-quality merino wool – 200 g of pure yarn madness, and best of all, packed with vibrant colours. The beautifully flowing, bright shades blend together boldly and somewhat unpredictably. As you knit, you’ll discover that this yarn is full of surprises, with its striking colour changes tempting you to knit just one more row – and then another, and another.

This wonderfully soft yarn is suitable for a wide variety of knitting projects, from garments to baby blankets. It is also ideal for sensitive skin, as it does not itch at all. The yarn is made using a special spinning technique: a mesh-like tube knitted from cotton is filled with soft, extra-fine merino wool. This construction makes the yarn firm and easy to knit with, while remaining wonderfully soft.

With Delirium, you can knit a colourful outfit for a baby. Two generous balls are enough for a good-sized baby blanket. For a long-sleeved adult sweater or cardigan, you will need 2–3 balls. One ball is enough to crochet a beautiful, lightweight shawl.

Fil Katia S.A. is a Spanish yarn manufacturer with more than 70 years of experience in producing knitting yarns. The merino wool used in Delirium comes from Australia and South America. The yarn is designed in Spain and spun in Italy.
