Just when you think you know what's coming, Surprise shifts gears - in color and in texture. This playful medium-weight yarn from Ella Rae blends 36% virgin wool, 50% acrylic, and 14% recycled polyester into a dynamic knitting experience... One that's full of delightful twists and turns. Made in Italy and available in 10 vibrant, self-striping colorways, each 100-gram skein of Surprise offers 196 yards of machine-washable ease. But what truly sets it apart is its unique texture-changing quality - transitioning between smooth and slubby, matte and lustrous, to create a fabric that's as visually engaging as it is touchable. Whether you're stitching up cozy accessories, statement garments, or just in it for the adventure, Surprise makes every project feel like a creative discovery.
