Enzo Aran

By Shalimar Yarns

From the colorful imagination of Kristi Johnson comes this sumptuous hand-dyed merino, with a dollop of cashmere and a dash of nylon (for strength). Custom milled just for Shalimar Yarns, Enzo Aran is the yarn of choice for Thea Colman’s aran-weight Stranded Diamonds Hat.

Please note: pattern not included. The Stranded Diamonds Hat pattern appears in MDK Field Guide No. 8: Merry Making, available in both digital and print editions. Be sure to add a copy of Field Guide No. 8 to your cart at checkout!

The dyeing genius behind Shalimar Yarns is Kristi Johnson, of New Market, Maryland. Her background as a yarn shop owner gives her insight into what makes a great yarn. She works directly with mills to create her custom-made bases, and with Enzo Aran, she has given us something truly special.

Enzo Aran is a soft blend of superwash merino, cashmere, and nylon. Enzo Aran has a generous 200 yards, with a double-ended construction that creates a light, lofty matte fabric with a lovely sheen. It works up quickly on a US 7-9.

Enzo Aran is an excellent choice for any project calling for a heavy worsted to Aran weight yarn.

Choose your favorite two colors for your Stranded Diamonds Hat!
