Aran & Worsted Yarn

Aran wool and worsted weight yarns are frequently used interchangeably, despite being distinct in terms of weight. Worsted weight yarn is finer and is suitable for knitting with 4.5mm needles, whereas aran yarn is knit with 5mm needles. Aran wool is sometimes referred to as heavy worsted weight or 10-ply as well. If you enjoy a quick knitting or crochet project, both aran and worsted weights provide the drape of a finer yarn but work up more rapidly than their lighter counterparts. These weights are perfect for creating crochet and knitted garments, accessories, and home decor. If you're uncertain about which yarn weight suits your needs, consult our useful yarn weight chart. Numerous yarn brands, including Paintbox Yarns, offer excellent aran and worsted options in a variety of colors and fibers.
