A Yarn with a Story
Pianosa is named after a tranquil island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and this yarn lives up to that inspiration with its airy texture and coastal calm. But beneath its softness lies a powerful purpose: reducing textile waste and giving recycled fibres a second chance.
This yarn is spun in Türkiye from pre-consumer textile leftovers, giving a new life to what would otherwise end up as landfill. Each 50g ball is a small but mighty step toward slowing fast fashion and embracing conscious crafting.
It is quiet, mindful luxury in yarn form and a beautiful reminder that elegance and sustainability go hand in hand.
Why You’ll Love It
Pianosa is that yarn you reach for again and again, soft in the hand, gentle on the skin and satisfying to work with from the first row to the last.
The cotton content keeps it breathable and smooth, while the recycled polyester adds strength and durability, so your finished pieces hold their shape over time. The signature white fleck adds subtle texture, making even the simplest stitches feel just a little bit special.
With its quick-working worsted weight and soothing palette, Pianosa is an easy yes for both beginners and experienced makers alike.
Spun with Purpose
Crafted with 100% recycled fibres, Pianosa is a yarn with a conscience.
By blending recycled cotton and recycled polyester, this yarn helps divert textile waste from landfill and reduces the demand for virgin materials.
