🧵 The Yarn

MATISSE Wool by Miss Tricot Filati is a bulky bouclé yarn designed for those seeking extreme softness and quick knitting. Its characteristic curly texture creates a voluminous and cozy look, perfect for winter projects that require warmth without added weight. The blend of merino wool and microfiber ensures a soft touch without prickliness, suitable even for those with sensitive skin.

The 150-gram ball with 105 meters is ideal for size 9-10 needles and 9-10 crochet hooks, allowing for fast completion of scarves, cowls, and sweaters. The color shades characteristic of each ball make every creation unique, with plays of light and depth that enhance even simple stitches like stockinette or garter stitch.

🧬 Technical Composition: Why it works

The 35% merino wool provides natural warmth and thermal regulation. Merino is known for its ability to retain body heat without overheating, keeping the skin dry thanks to its natural breathability. This percentage is calibrated to offer protection against the cold without making the yarn too heavy or stiff, maintaining elasticity and shape retention even after multiple washes.

The 55% PC microfiber is the secret to the extreme softness of MATISSE. This high-quality synthetic fiber gives a velvety feel, completely eliminates the itchiness typical of traditional wools, and ensures greater resistance to wear. The 10% polyester completes the structure by reinforcing the yarn and improving the hold of the bouclé, preventing the curls from flattening with use.

📦 Ball Format and Yield

Each ball weighs 150 grams and contains approximately 105 meters of yarn. With a single ball, you can make a medium-sized scarf (approx. 150 cm x 20 cm) in garter or stockinette stitch. For a cozy cowl, 2 balls are sufficient, while about 200 grams are needed for a size 42-44 women's sweater (as indicated by the manufacturer for the Matisse Jacket model by master knitters Marelli).

For larger projects like blankets or oversized cardigans, we recommend purchasing all necessary balls at once, preferably from the same dye lot. Bouclé shades can vary slightly between different lots, and having balls from the same batch ensures chromatic uniformity in the finished garment.

🧶 Recommended Knitting

9-10 mm needles are the ideal size for this bulky yarn as they allow you to create an airy yet compact stitch that enhances the bouclé effect without weighing down the fabric. Smaller needles would make the work too stiff and dense, losing its characteristic softness; larger needles would risk creating a fabric that is too loose and lacks structure. 9-10 mm is the perfect balance between speed of execution and quality of result.

A 9-10 mm crochet hook also works very well with MATISSE, especially for projects like cushions, bags, or blankets worked in double or single crochet. Bouclé yarn tends to hide complex stitches, so we recommend using simple techniques that let the natural texture of the yarn stand out. Ideal for beginners who want professional results without having to master elaborate stitches.

✨ Why Choose Lana MATISSE

Compared to 100% acrylic bulky yarns, MATISSE offers the natural warmth of merino wool without sacrificing the softness of synthetic fibers. Compared to 100% natural bouclé wools, it eliminates itchiness and is easier to maintain, machine washable without the risk of felting. It is the right choice if you are looking for a yarn that combines technical performance and daily comfort, without compromise.

The quick work with large needles allows you to complete a project in a few hours instead of days, perfect for those who are short on time but do not want to sacrifice quality handmade garments. The bouclé effect hides small imperfections in the stitches, making this yarn ideal even for those new to knitting or crochet.

🎨 What You Can Make

MATISSE is perfect for oversized sweaters and cardigans to wear over shirts or t-shirts, cozy scarves and cowls that protect against the cold without added weight, and soft blankets and throws for the sofa and bed. Also great for winter beanies, gloves, and hats, decorative cushions, and home decor accessories with a bouclé texture.

👩‍🎨 Who It Is Suitable For

This yarn is particularly suitable for beginners because the bulky format makes stitches large and clearly visible, facilitating learning and correcting any errors. The bouclé texture masks small irregularities, so even those new to the craft can obtain professional results. At the same time, experienced hobbyists appreciate the speed of work and immediate aesthetic effect.

It is typically purchased by hobbyists looking for soft yarns for winter projects, artisans who make commissioned garments and want to optimize production time, and those looking for quality handmade gifts to complete in just a few hours. Also highly appreciated by those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate traditional wools.
