Durable Forest inspiration and a 10% discount
About Durable Forest
Durable Forest is a mixture of 45% acrylic, 37% merino wool and 18% silk, giving the yarn a luxurious look. Durable Forest is available in beautiful heathered shades that also combine well with each other.
The ball may feel a little rough at first touch, but while working with it the yarn quickly becomes softer to the touch. After washing your project, it’s lovely to wear and feels soft on the skin. Thanks to its blend, Forest also retains a lot of warmth, making Durable Forest a perfect yarn for autumn.
Durable Forest is very suitable for knitting with the fair-isle technique, cable patterns or brioche, and you can easily combine the yarn with other yarns such as Durable Soqs.
