PIUMA means “feather” in Italian, and that’s exactly the sensation: cloud-soft to the touch with comforting volume.
A stable nylon core gives structure, while a fluffy coat of dyed merino and white cotton creates a gentle mélangé. Knitted up, the fabric evokes cuddly teddy fleece; turn it purl-side out for a bouclé-like look and even more styling options. Keep the stitches simple to let the texture sing, consider slightly larger needles for loft, and block lightly to preserve the plushness.
Perfect for
Cosy cardigans and jacket-style layers
Oversized, snuggly jumpers
Scarves, wraps and deep cowls
Beanies, mitts and winter accessories
Textured cushions or throws
