🧵 The yarn
Katia MARAVILLA Wool is a limited edition yarn designed for those seeking perfect ombré effects without having to change skeins. Its distinctive feature is the Perfect Color Cycle: a harmonious progression of shades that repeats symmetrically, allowing you to create shawls, sweaters, and accessories with balanced and visually striking color patterns. The composition combines 52% Superwash Merino wool and 48% acrylic, ensuring softness, warmth, and easy care.
Each skein weighs 200 grams and offers approximately 430 meters of yarn, a generous yield that allows you to complete entire projects with a single skein. It is worked with 3.5–4 mm needles or a 3.5–4.5 mm crochet hook, making it suitable for both knitters and crocheters. The cake format makes it easy to work continuously without knots or interruptions.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 52% Superwash Merino wool is the main fiber in MARAVILLA. Merino is known for its superior fineness and softness compared to other wools, making it comfortable even in direct contact with the skin. The Superwash treatment removes the natural scales from the fiber that cause felting, allowing it to be machine washed at 30°C on a wool cycle and even tumble dried without the risk of shrinking. This makes garments made with MARAVILLA practical for everyday wear, not just pieces to be kept.
The 48% acrylic helps stabilize the yarn, improve color retention during washing, and reduce the final cost without compromising perceived quality. Acrylic also provides greater elasticity and wear resistance, essential features for accessories such as shawls and scarves that are frequently worn and washed. The result is a yarn that combines the warmth and luxury of Merino wool with the practicality and durability of modern synthetic fibers.
📦 Skein size and yield
With 200 grams and 430 meters per skein, MARAVILLA offers an exceptional yield. A single skein is enough to make a complete shawl of medium size (approximately 150x50 cm), utilizing the entire color progression of the Perfect Color Cycle. With two skeins, you can create a poncho or a short cardigan, while an adult size M sweater requires approximately 4–5 skeins, depending on the pattern and desired fit.
As it is a limited edition yarn, color availability is not guaranteed over time. We recommend purchasing all the skeins needed for your project at once, checking that they belong to the same dye lot to avoid color differences. The lot code is printed on the skein label.
🧶 Recommended work
The recommended needles are 3.5–4 mm. This size produces a soft, drapey fabric, ideal for shawls and garments that need to hang elegantly. If you prefer a more compact and structured fabric (for example, for a cardigan or sweater), use 3.5 mm needles; if you want to maximize softness and an airy effect, opt for 4 mm needles. The reference sample is 22 stitches x 29 rows for a 10x10 cm square with 4 mm needles.
For crochet, the recommended sizes are 3.5–4.5 mm. A 4 mm crochet hook is perfect for openwork projects such as triangular shawls or stoles, while a 3.5 mm crochet hook is suitable for more compact accessories such as hats or neck warmers. MARAVILLA is particularly well suited to stitches that highlight the color progression, such as the fan stitch, wave stitch, or chevron stitch.
✨ Why choose Katia MARAVILLA Wool
Most ombré yarns feature random or unpredictable transitions, making it difficult to achieve symmetry in projects. MARAVILLA solves this problem with the Perfect Color Cycle: each skein repeats the same harmonious sequence of shades, allowing you to create symmetrical patterns even when working with multiple skeins. If you are making a cardigan or sweater, the sleeves will be identical without having to calculate stitch counts or waste yarn.
The Superwash treatment is a real added value for those who wear the finished garments, not just those who make them. You can machine wash shawls, sweaters, and accessories at 30°C without worrying about felting or shrinking, and even tumble dry them on low heat. This makes MARAVILLA ideal for gifts or garments intended for frequent use, not just pieces to display.
🎨 What you can make
MARAVILLA is designed for shawls and accessories that highlight the color progression. Triangular or rectangular shawls are its main use, followed by stoles, ponchos, and cardigans. Thanks to the generous 200g format, you can complete medium-sized projects with a single skein, reducing waste and costs. It can also be combined with the same-weight Katia Basic Merino to create color contrasts or solid-colored borders.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
MARAVILLA is suitable for intermediate and advanced levels, not so much because of the difficulty of working with it (the yarn is soft and smooth), but because of the need to plan the project according to the color progression. Those who have experience with ombré yarns will appreciate the Perfect Color Cycle and know how to use it to create symmetrical patterns. Beginners can still use it for simple projects such as garter stitch shawls, where the beauty of the yarn does all the work.
It is mainly purchased by hobbyists looking for special yarns for gift projects, craftspeople who sell handmade garments made to order, and shawl enthusiasts who collect limited edition yarns. The 200g format and Superwash practicality also make it a popular choice for those who make garments for sale, where ease of care is an important selling point.

📌 Important note
The stated length (430m) may vary by ±5% due to production tolerances. As this is a limited-edition yarn, the colors may not be available for reorder once sold out. We recommend purchasing all the skeins you need for your project at once, checking that they belong to the same dye lot (code printed on the label). Small color differences between different lots are normal with hand-dyed yarns.
