🧵 The yarn

Mondial's YORK Wool is a twisted yarn that combines a smooth thread and a textured one, creating a very soft, pleasant feel. Its main feature is the multicolor effect with broken and irregular stripes, which develops automatically as you work, with no need to change colors or skeins. Designed for those looking for a versatile yarn that does all the work, YORK is perfect for both knitters and those who prefer crochet.

Each ball weighs 100 grams and offers approximately 190 meters of yarn—a generous yield that allows you to make complete accessories or start medium-sized garments. It is worked with 4.5 to 5.5 mm needles or a crochet hook, the most popular and comfortable size for most projects. Thanks to its wool-microfiber blend, YORK is suitable for both autumn/winter and transitional seasons.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 40% wool content in YORK ensures natural warmth, breathability, and a soft touch that doesn't itch. Wool was chosen for its ability to regulate body temperature, keeping you warm when needed while allowing the garment to breathe. This makes YORK ideal for sweaters and accessories that must remain comfortable even after hours of wear, without causing excessive sweating or discomfort.

The 60% microfiber (40% PL + 20% PA) addresses the typical issues of pure wool: it adds durability, drastically reduces pilling, makes machine washing easier, and helps the garment maintain its shape over time. Microfiber also makes the yarn lighter than 100% wool, perfect for those seeking a balance between warmth and practicality. The result is a yarn that combines the best of natural and synthetic fibers, suitable for daily use without sacrificing quality.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each 100-gram ball provides approximately 190 meters of yarn. With a single ball, you can make a medium-sized scarf, a hat, or a pair of gloves. For larger projects, such as a long-sleeved size M sweater, you will need about 2.5–3 balls, while for a long cardigan or a wide cowl, 2 balls are sufficient.

We recommend purchasing all the balls needed for your project at once, ensuring they are from the same dye lot. Even though YORK is a multicolor yarn, shades and stripe sequences may vary slightly between different lots. Buying everything together ensures color uniformity in the finished garment.

🧶 Recommended work

YORK is worked with 4.5 to 5.5 mm needles, the most versatile and requested size for medium-weight yarns. This size is ideal because it creates a stitch that is neither too tight nor too loose: the garment is warm but not stiff, soft but not sheer. With 4.5 mm needles, you get a more compact texture, perfect for structured sweaters; with 5.5 mm needles, the work goes faster and the result is fluffier, ideal for scarves and cowls.

A 4.5 to 5.5 mm crochet hook also works perfectly with YORK. The twisted yarn slides smoothly over the hook and does not split, making the process fluid even for beginners. Thanks to the automatic multicolor effect, even the simplest stitches (stockinette stitch, single crochet) create a visually rich and striking result without the need for complex patterns or color changes.

✨ Why choose Mondial YORK Wool

YORK solves a practical problem: creating multicolor garments without managing multiple skeins, knots, loose ends, or color changes. Compared to a solid color yarn, YORK offers a rich and dynamic visual effect simply by working in stockinette or single crochet. Compared to cake or gradient yarns, YORK has a more irregular and natural effect, with broken stripes that don't follow a predictable sequence, making every garment truly unique.

In daily life, YORK translates to garments that you can machine wash worry-free, that maintain their shape even after many washes, and that do not develop unsightly pills. The softness of the twisted yarn is perceptible from the first touch: it doesn't itch, it doesn't irritate the skin, and it is comfortable even for those with sensitivities to pure wool. It is the yarn you choose when you want a professional result without complications.

🎨 What you can make

YORK is perfect for multicolor sweaters and cardigans that stand out without requiring complex techniques. It is also ideal for scarves, cowls, hats, and gloves that need to be warm but not too heavy. Thanks to its dual knitting-crochet compatibility, you can use it for bags, pouches, and accessories with an original touch of color.

👩‍🎨 Who is it for?

YORK is ideal for beginners because the twisted yarn doesn't split easily, glides well on needles and hooks, and creates an automatic multicolor effect even with the simplest stitches. There is no need to read complex patterns or manage color changes: just knit or crochet, and the result is instantly impactful. Even those who have only recently started can achieve garments that look like they were made by expert hands.

Who typically buys it? Hobbyists looking for a versatile yarn for daily projects, artisans who make commissioned garments and appreciate ease of washing and maintenance, and those looking for an original handmade gift without having to invest too much time in complex techniques. YORK is the yarn you choose when you want a professional result without the stress.
