Its airy, brushed structure gives light volume and a soft halo, so it knits into warm garments that weigh almost nothing. \u003cem\u003ePiuma\u003c\/em\u003e is Italian for feather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 100 g ball holds 240 yards (220 m). That is a lot of yarn for a bulky-needle yarn, which is the point: the feather construction traps air, so you get bulky-gauge warmth with far less weight.
