Made in Japan from 100% organically grown cotton, Handwritten is as elegant as a line of cursive. It is a classic "gima" yarn, which means "linen" in Japanese and suggests that its fine, flat ribbon construction has the smooth, lustrous appearance of linen. Handwritten's crispness gives hand knits more volume and dimension than you might expect from a laceweight yarn... A distinctive and highly rewarding knitting experience!

• Handwritten comes on lovely spools with over 900 yards of ready-to-go yarn, and it knits up at 9-10 stitches per inch on US 1 (2.5 mm) needles.

• We also love this yarn on bigger needles with a more open gauge so that its unique texture has room to be appreciated. Our free Open Air Wrap pattern allows just that with a super simple lace pattern that has you knit with two different color strands on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles.

Handwritten is available in a vibrant palette of gorgeous colors... Cast on with your favorite!
