Pecci Filati S.P.A. · Hobbit 1500 · 150m/164yds per 100g/3.5oz · 90% Merino (WV) 10% Polyamide (PA)

Hobbit 1500 by Pecci Filati is a thick, airy braided cord yarn with a construction that is immediately distinctive. The braiding is substantial and open, trapping air within the structure and giving the yarn a voluminous, lightweight character that belies its aran weight. The cord profile is rounded and confident, with a satisfying presence in the hand that makes knitting with it a genuine pleasure.

90% merino ensures the construction is as soft as it is structured. The braided exterior is smooth and gentle against the skin, warm without heaviness, and with the natural elasticity that merino brings to any yarn it inhabits. 10% polyamide reinforces the braided structure with durability and resilience, ensuring the open cord retains its shape and volume through knitting and wear.

Versatile Use

At 150m/100g, Hobbit 1500 is a true aran-weight yarn designed to be worked as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The open braided construction performs beautifully in simple stitch patterns where the cord texture itself is the design. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, and accessories where airy warmth and braided cord texture define the piece.
