Mitu is a delicate worsted yarn that combines the best of two worlds: the softness of alpaca and the resilience of wool. With an equal blend of both, you get a yarn that is soft, warm, and comfortable against the skin while still creating garments that hold their shape beautifully. Mitu glides effortlessly on the needles, feels soft in the hands, and is a pleasure to knit with. Its thickness makes it easy to work with and especially suitable for beginners, while the yarn’s qualities ensure both new and experienced knitters achieve a beautiful and precise result. The stitches settle elegantly with a lightly fuzzy surface, and together with the yarn’s thickness, this creates fullness and volume without the need for a companion thread. The fact that Mitu is a worsted yarn means that the fibres are combed before spinning. This creates a smoother, more even, and refined appearance compared to woollen spun yarns. The stitch definition becomes crisp and clear, making textured patterns stand out beautifully. Worsted yarns also contain less air between the fibres, contributing to a more defined look, elegant drape, and a lovely weight in the finished garment. Mitu is simply a yarn that feels just as wonderful on the needles as it does to wear – soft, resilient, and elegant. A yarn you will enjoy both while knitting and long after the garment is finished.
