Today’s project was conceived with the specific aim of showcasing the beauty of a specific variant of our Piuma yarn; the colour Confetti. It’s a printed yarn with a white background and streakes of pink, yellow, and blue to which can be associated an articulated, but at the same time clearly visible stitch amongst the sea of colours that Confetti possesses.<\/span><\/p>
