Angora Lux – Etrofil: lightweight and warm yarn with angora blend for winter projects

Etrofil Angora Lux yarn blends the exceptional softness of angora fibre with the strength of polyamide, offering an unmatched knitting experience: warmth, lightness, and a silky feel. Made in Turkey with Italian design, this 50g skein with 200m of yarn has a fine twist, perfect for 3–4 mm needles or hooks.

The angora fibre is sourced from rabbits via gentle brushing, without harm, and is Öko‑Tex certified, making it suitable for baby garments. This fibre is lighter than regular wool, regulates body temperature, and offers thermal insulation without added weight.

Thanks to its composition, this yarn is ideal for winter garments that caress the skin, such as lightweight jumpers, luxurious shawls, soft hats, or cardigans. It’s also an excellent choice for delicate knits made for sensitive skin, including baby clothing.
