Piopardo
Piopardo is a colorful marled yarn that is perfect for so many things. Use it in colorwork projects for a multi-colored effect without needing to switch between multiple skeins. Combine it with a solid (try our new Romaria) to brighten up a yoke sweater design. It’s also perfect for so many accessories like shawls, scarves, hats and mitts. This yarn will also look gorgeous when carried with a mohair for a softer look. No matter how you use it, you’ll love this eco-friendly, 100% wool, handwash yarn from Portugal. Plus it’s a great value at $10.25 for 180 yards!

Note about marled yarns – While we love the exquisite colors available in this unique yarn, there can be significant variations from skein to skein. Please follow these guidelines to ensure success:
- Purchase enough yarn to complete your project, allowing for a bit of overage, just in case!
- Please let us know when ordering what your preferences are as far as a predominant color.
- For projects that require 2 or more skeins, we highly recommend blending your skeins by using 2 balls at once, alternating every couple of rows from each ball. This should blend any variations between skeins.
- You can always call us to see what’s on the shelf.
