Why you'll love it

Fibra Natura Papyrus is a beautifully soft silk and cotton blend in an 8ply/DK weight, perfect for summery garments that feel as good as they look.

Papyrus has just the right mix of structure and softness, thanks to its plied texture and unique blend of Egyptian cotton and silk. It has a little elasticity to make knitting and crocheting with it even more enjoyable.

The finished fabric is cool to the touch with a lovely drape and a hint of silk sheen - ideal for summer cardigans, tanks and tees, jumpers or wraps and scarves. It’s also a great option if you’re looking for non-wool fibres with a little bit of luxury.

It comes in a palette of softly washed, natural colours with a slightly rustic finish. 

A joy to work with and even better to wear, Papyrus brings elegance and ease to your warm-weather projects.

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.

Fibra Natura Papyrus – 8ply weight cotton, silk yarn

Fibra Natura

Fibra Natura is the hand-knit line of a mill in Bursa, Turkey that's been spinning yarn since 1986. Most of what a mill that size makes heads off to weaving looms and knitting machines – Fibra Natura is the part that comes to knitters and crocheters like us, in balls, in soft natural fibres.

Despite having only one yarn from this brand, it is one of our most popular. With a mix of cotton and silk, it's easy to use and luxurious to wear.
