Made in Japan from 100% organically grown cotton, Handwritten is as supple and elegant as a line of cursive. It has a fluid feel, but with four plies aligned into a fine, flat ribbon, its structure has a crispness that gives hand knits more volume and dimension than you might expect from a laceweight yarn. Handwritten comes on lovely spools with over 900 yards of ready-to-go yarn, and it knits up at 9-10 stitches per inch on US 1 (2.5 mm) needles. We also love this yarn on bigger needles with a more open gauge so that its unique texture can really shine through. Like in our super fun and inspiring free Open Air Wrap pattern, where we knit two strands together on a US 4 (3.5 mm). Handwritten is available in a vibrant palette of 26 colors, from the warmth of Autumn Gold to the cool tide of Deep Water Blue. You can also get it in two-color, two-spool Open Air Wrap Bundles!
