Orton Yarn: Cozy Wool-Acrylic Blend for Winter Crafts

Every knitter knows that magical moment when you find the perfect yarn for your next project. The kind that feels just right in your hands, promises to work up beautifully, and gives you that little thrill of excitement about what you'll create. Ice Yarns Orton delivers exactly that feeling with its thoughtfully crafted 20% wool, 80% acrylic blend.

What makes Orton special? It's the perfect marriage of natural warmth and practical durability. The wool content gives you that cozy, breathable feel we all love in our handmade pieces, while the acrylic ensures your finished projects will hold their shape wash after wash. This chunky weight yarn works up quickly too, making it ideal for those satisfying weekend projects or when you need a gift in a hurry.

Picture yourself settling in with a cup of tea and working on a thick, squishy scarf in one of Orton's gorgeous earthy tones. The cream shade brings elegant neutrality to any wardrobe, while the rich copper and warm brown add depth and sophistication. The golden colorway? Pure autumn magic in your hands.

If you love working with substantial yarns like Orton, you might also enjoy exploring Atlas, another fantastic chunky option that's 100% acrylic and perfect for beginners. For those who want to step up the luxury factor, Alpaca Bulky offers the divine softness of alpaca and wool in a similar weight. And if you're ready to go fully natural, Pure Wool Bulky delivers that authentic wool experience crafters dream about.

Orton shines in projects where you want both comfort and practicality. Think chunky sweaters that actually survive the washing machine, thick blankets that stay soft season after season, or cozy home decor pieces that look handmade but stand up to daily life. The 4-ball package gives you plenty to work with, and at 95 grams per ball, you get substantial yardage for your investment.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter looking for your next favorite yarn or someone just discovering the joy of chunky projects, Orton offers that sweet spot between luxury feel and everyday wearability. It's the kind of yarn that makes every stitch a pleasure and every finished project something you'll treasure.
