Pinta from Pascuali is an unusual and rewarding blend: extrafine merino for softness and elasticity, mulberry silk for sheen and drape, and ramie for structure and a natural crispness that keeps the fabric from going limp. The result is a yarn with genuine versatility: soft enough for next-to-skin wear, drapey enough for shawls, and structured enough for socks and garments that need to hold their shape. The sheen from the silk gives finished fabric a quality look that suits more refined projects. Not superwash treated; hand wash and dry flat.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Pinta is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
