Keira is a heavy fingering weight yarn that works up into a dense, plush fabric with superb stitch definition and very little halo. We love its neat and tidy 4-ply construction and smooth hand.

Note: We originally described Keira as a heavy fingering weight yarn, but after we got to know it better we realized it works up better at a sport weight gauge. We have changed the weight designation, but the yarn itself has not changed.

The newer skeins have labels indicating that it is 560 yds per 225g/8 oz, not 235g/8.3 oz.
