Whether you're making a relaxed-fit jumper, a lacy wrap or a crochet market bag, this yarn delivers a fresh, modern feel. Its listed as a 5ply / sport weight but its versatility means you can use it across a range of pattern gauges, from 4ply / fingering weight through to 8ply / DK, depending on your project.

Looking for the right needles? If you're finding it tricky to get the gauge, bamboo or wood needles could help as they're a bit grippier and hold the stitches tighter.

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).

About

Katia

Pepita Vila opened her own yarn store in Manresa, near Barcelona, during the 1930s. Ramon Castelló, inspired by his wife, founded a handcraft yarn business in 1950, and the Katia brand followed in 1970. After a couple of tough decades, the brand was rebuilt in 1998 – and four generations on, it's the grandchildren running it.

Their hallmark is colour and texture, 'very different to traditional yarns', so expect a little fantasy sitting alongside the wool, cotton and mohair. Today, Katia is a market leader in beautiful yarns with a reputation for fresh innovative designs. Their luxury brand, Concept by Katia, epitomises a cool, minimalist and elegant aesthetic.
