What makes Rico Design Wool Paper Patina special
The paper-wool blend creates a unique surface with a soft sheen and a slightly rustic hand feel that sets it apart from pure wool or pure cotton yarns. The patina dyeing technique produces an uneven, organic colour distribution that looks intentional and artisanal in finished pieces.
Ideal for...
Crocheters and knitters working on lightweight accessories such as summer scarves, shawls, and decorative home textiles. The paper blend gives structure without stiffness, making it suitable for project pieces that are worn or displayed regularly.
