YarnArt Piuma – Dense, Plush Faux Fur with a Short Pile YarnArt Piuma stands out from other fur yarns thanks to its short, dense pile – more like teddy fabric or velvet than the long shaggy types. The finished fabric is even, soft, and uniform, which makes it good for cozy cardigans, snoods, and modern-looking cushions. 💡 Comparison: Looking for a longer-hair effect instead? Check out YarnArt Samba. Choose Piuma when you want a compact, plush teddy look – similar to ready-to-wear faux fur jackets. Why knitters reach for Piuma Soft touch: One of the softer yarns to work with – it doesn't scratch and feels warm right away. Easier to see stitches: The short pile means you can actually see your stitches as you go – unlike long-fur yarns where you knit half-blind. Modern look: Finished pieces look like the teddy outerwear that's everywhere in stores right now.
