Cariaggi · Pukaki 3/48 · 1600m/100g (1750yds/3.5oz) · 100% Merino Wool (WV)
Pukaki is a refined super fine merino yarn from Cariaggi, spun in a precise 3/48 construction that delivers exceptional regularity, elasticity, and a clean, composed surface. The fine merino fiber provides a smooth, cool hand with excellent stitch definition, producing fabric that is lightweight yet resilient and stable over time. Due to its fineness, Pukaki is intended to be worked in multiple strands, allowing accurate control over gauge, structure, and fabric density for elegant, well-engineered knitwear with a polished, professional finish.
