Step into a world of vibrant hues with Papagayo, a yarn that captures the essence of the beautiful kaleidescope of parrots in every stitch.
Derived from the Spanish word for "parrot," Papagayo is a painted cotton blend that weaves together the beauty of these colourful birds with the artistry of crafting. Made in Italy, this yarn offers not only a palette of vivid shades but also a canvas of yarn for your creative dreams.
Crafted with a blend of 75% cotton and 25% acrylic, Papagayo celebrates the meeting point of nature and innovation. Its composition ensures both softness and durability, inviting you to explore the realm of endless possibilities. In particular, this yarn works up incredibly as a DK cotton sock yarn. The nylon provides the yarn a structure to create a beautiful pair of vegan summer socks. Machine washable on a cool cycle and best dried flat, this yarn makes both crafting and caring for your creations effortless.
Each 100-gram skein stretches to 328 yards, offering an ample supply of inspiration for your projects. As you unravel the yarn, you'll notice the infusion of colours reminiscent of parrots' vibrant plumage. Just as these birds dance through the rainforest canopy, let Papagayo bring your creations to life with its vivid spectrum.
