Knitting with PHOENIX

PHOENIX (a review)

PHOENIX is what happens when a cloud decides to become yarn. Light, lofty, and unbelievably soft, it wraps your needles in a gentle haze of warmth while the fibres seem to float into place. This is knitting that feels like a cosy spell in motion.

My First Impressions

PHOENIX feels like holding a cloud. This mulesing-free extrafine merino yarn redefines softness — light, warm, and ethically produced without compromising luxury. The subtle loft and gentle twist promise fabric that is plush yet airy, with each ball large enough to make substantial progress quickly.
