🧵 The yarn

PUNTARENAS Wool by Silke by Arvier is a wool blend yarn designed for those looking for a warm, durable, and easy-to-work-with ball of yarn. The composition of 70% pure wool and 30% acrylic combines the natural warmth of animal fiber with the practicality of a yarn that doesn't shrink and holds its shape over time. It is an ideal choice for creating everyday winter garments, cozy accessories, and long-lasting home projects.

Each ball weighs 100 grams and offers approximately 150 meters of yarn, a yardage that allows you to make scarves, hats, and accessories with just a few balls. It can be worked with 5-6mm needles or a 5-6mm hook, making it smooth for both beginners and experienced crafters. The crafting experience is fluid, and the end result is a soft, warm fabric that feels pleasant to the touch.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 70% pure wool is the base of this yarn: it offers natural warmth, breathability, and that softness only animal fiber can provide. Wool regulates body temperature, absorbs moisture without feeling wet, and retains heat even when slightly damp. It is the perfect fiber for winter garments that need to protect against the cold without being heavy.

The 30% acrylic steps in where wool alone is not enough: it improves wear resistance, reduces the risk of felting in the washing machine, and keeps the garment's shape over time. This synthetic fiber makes the yarn easier to handle, especially for those who don't have the time to hand-wash items every time. The result is a wool-acrylic blend yarn that combines the best of both worlds: as warm as wool, as practical as acrylic.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each PUNTARENAS Wool ball weighs 100 grams and offers approximately 150 meters of yarn. With just one ball, you can make a hat or a cowl; with 2-3 balls, a medium-length scarf. For an adult sweater, you will need approximately 550-700 grams (5-7 balls), while for a child's sweater, about 400 grams (4 balls) is enough.

The indicated yardage may vary by ±5% between different production batches. For projects requiring color uniformity, we recommend purchasing all necessary balls in the same order. This avoids shade differences that might be visible in the finished garment, especially with solid colors.

🧶 Recommended crafting

5-6mm needles are the ideal size for this yarn because they create a fabric that is soft yet compact, retaining heat without becoming too stiff. With smaller needles, the fabric becomes dense and less elastic, while with larger needles, you get an open-knit effect that lets heat escape. The 5-6mm size is the right balance for sweaters, cardigans, and accessories that need to be warm but not heavy.

The yarn also works well with a 5-6mm hook, feeling smooth and easy to manage. It is perfect for simple stitches like stockinette or garter stitch, or single and double crochet. The presence of acrylic makes the yarn less prone to felting than pure wool, making it suitable even for beginners who want a yarn that forgives minor tension errors.

✨ Why choose PUNTARENAS Wool

PUNTARENAS Wool solves the problem for those looking for a warm yarn who don't want to sacrifice practicality. Compared to pure wool, this yarn is more durable, less prone to felting, and can be machine washed at 30°C without fear of damage.
