Adriafil Alterego

Soft merino blend DK with vivid heathered colourways. Versatile for garments and accessories.

What is Alterego?

Adriafil Alterego is a light from Adriafil. Composition: 70% merino / 30% acrylic. One skein holds 115 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.

How the yarn behaves

Mercerised cotton with a multi-strand twist that adds a perlato (pearl-like) shine to the surface. Sharp stitch definition for cables, lace and decorative crochet; the sheen lifts colour saturation noticeably. Minimal stretch — fabric drapes rather than springs back. Sold in large balls, so few balls cover a sweater. Machine washable. Holds the bright finish over many washes.
