Working with Tubular Cord Yarn

This airy cord yarn works best on larger needles (4–5mm) than you might expect for its meterage, allowing the hollow structure to bloom and create its characteristic squishy texture. The tubular construction means it doesn't split while knitting, making it beginner-friendly. Simple stitch patterns work best to showcase the yarn's unique texture. No need to work multiple strands—this yarn is designed to shine solo.

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. This tubular merino-polyamide blend blooms beautifully after washing, creating an even airier fabric. Needle size significantly affects the final look—experiment to find your preferred drape and coverage.
