Why you'll love it

Contrepoint Air is something genuinely new on our shelves – a stretch yarn made in France by Chamade, designed for knitted and crocheted garments that need to move with you. Think swimwear that can actually swim, crop tops and fitted pieces that spring back into shape.

N°1 is the most versatile of the Contrepoint Air yarns. Each 100m reel stretches up to four times its length and then springs straight back, so your knitting keeps its support wear after wear.

It's resistant to chlorine, UV and seawater, dries quickly and is soft against the skin. Our Pool Bikini Set, Brisbane Balconette Set and Square Swimsuit kits have the yarn worked out for each size.

Reach for N°1 when you want structure, support and coverage – pair it with N°2 for lighter sections.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

Spools of Chamade Contrepoint Air in Pool Blue, Coral Red, Icy Pink, Bronze and Black

Chamade

Chamade is a knitting brand from Paris with a simple belief – knitting doesn't only belong on the sofa in winter. Their manifesto calls it the new knitting, freer than ever: something you take to the beach or on the metro, knit and wear all year round, and use to make the swimwear, sportswear and streetwear you actually live in.

They design and make their Contrepoint stretch yarns in France, and their whole range is built around learning by making – small, wearable pieces that build your skills quickly. It's slow, hands-on making, a pause from the rush of fast fashion, with plenty of room to experiment and make something that's yours.
