Merino wool is loved by knitters for its soft feel and pure white natural colour, which takes dye beautifully. This chunky chainette yarn is wearable directly against even delicate skin. Merino Aria is a quick knit on 7mm needles, and the chainette construction means it's super light to wear.

The Merino Aria patterns pictured above are are available as part of MODE at Rowan: Collection Three. View pattern specifications, or purchase this collection as a PDF e-book or individual pattern PDFs, on Ravelry or the Rowan website.

The Beanie is shown with a Rowan Luxury Pom Pom.
