Rowan Kid Classic is an Aran weight yarn, a popular choice known for its versatility and medium-heavy thickness.
Understanding Rowan Kid Classic's Specifications
Aran weight, also sometimes referred to as heavy worsted or 10-ply in some regions, is a substantial yarn that works up relatively quickly, making it ideal for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects. Rowan Kid Classic combines this practical weight with a luxurious blend, offering both warmth and a soft feel.
Here are the key specifications for Rowan Kid Classic:
Feature | Detail |
---|---|
Yarn Weight | Aran |
Ball Weight | 50g |
Length | 140 metres |
Needle Size | 5mm - 5.5mm |
These characteristics mean that a single 50g ball provides a generous 140 metres of yarn, which is a good length for an Aran weight, typically suggesting a slightly finer spin within the Aran category or simply efficient use of material. The recommended needle size of 5mm to 5.5mm aligns perfectly with the standard gauge for Aran yarns, allowing for a fabric that is neither too dense nor too loose, providing excellent stitch definition and warmth.
