About The Yarn:

What is Blow Yarn?
Unlike traditional spun yarns, blow yarn is created using a special technique where loose fibers are gently blown into a fine polyamide mesh tube. This process results in a bulky yet lightweight yarn with a soft, airy aura and an ultra-squishy texture. The fibers remain inside the mesh tube, while their ends stick out, giving the yarn a beautiful halo effect.
