will knit to most aran patterns, we'll get to this a bit later ...
creates stunning winter garments
knits up fairly quickly
We've knitted with the Katia Azteca on several occasions and can't ever remember coming across a knot !
Here is the ball band info :
100g ball with 180 metres, 53% wool & 47% acrylic, cool machine wash at 30c
As we metioned above, the Katia Azteca will knit to most aran or worsted weight patterns however, we do recommend you knit your tension square prior to starting your project and it's fairly easy to calculate the number of balls required as long as you know the yardage/meterage of the yarn used in the pattern.
If the pattern you wish to knit is suggesting let's say 7 x 50g balls of another aran yarn which has 100 metres per ball
7 (balls) x 100m = 700 metres required for your knitting project, if you divide 700 metres by 180 metres (the length of yarn on a ball of Azteca) you'll get 3.88, which means you'll need to allow 4 x balls of Azteca for your project.
This calculation will of course work with any yarn as long as you know or can find out the length of yarn on the ball the pattern was originally designed for.
