Aran Weight

Aran Wool is the midway between DK and Chunky, providing a fast-growing, medium weight alternative. Aran Wool is perfect for knitting thicker jumpers or cardigans without being too bulky and for warm Autumn & Winter accessories such as oversized scarves and snuggly hats, mitts & cowls.

Traditional woolen Aran wools often have multiple plies (sometimes as many as six or eight strands) which creates a really round yarn making it extremely popular for its ability to produce fantastic stitch definition for cables, moss stitch and other textured pattern effects.

A prime choice for Men’s garments and accessories, Aran wool can create stylish and flattering knits. Amongst crochet lovers, this weight of yarn is preferred for creating Afghans and throws with a Swedish Hygge vibe.
