Suggested Uses
Arial is a light fingering yarn with a lovely, soft hand. The two fine plies are strong enough to make wonderfully
light socks at a very tight gauge, which is great for a pair of warm-weather
socks. The generous yardage in the striping skein allows for socks with lots of
intricate texture or socks for larger feet. Crochet socks also work very nicely with this
yarn. If socks aren’t your thing, Arial
is also a great option for lace, particularly scarves and shawls. The two plies
lend themselves nicely to open, airy fabric, and the Evolution skeins
especially will create stunning lace accessories.
