Rico Melange Yarn

Infuse depth and visual interest into your knitting and crochet with Rico Creative Melange DK Yarn. This DK (double knitting) weight yarn features 53% virgin wool and 47% acrylic, delivering softness, warmth, strength, and good stitch definition.

The melange effect — subtle shifts in tone and blended fibre character — makes it especially beautiful in garments, scarves, shawls, and colour-rich designs where you want gentle variation rather than dramatic striping.
