Share
Imagine opening a package and discovering eight beautiful balls of yarn that transform into stunning self-striping patterns with every stitch—that's the magic of Ice Yarns Toucan. Whether you're a seasoned knitter looking for your next exciting project or a beginner eager to create something spectacular without the complexity of changing colors, this versatile yarn delivers breathtaking results every time.
What makes Toucan truly special is its carefully crafted blend of fibers that creates both durability and softness. The unique combination ensures your finished projects maintain their vibrant colors wash after wash, while the medium weight makes it perfect for everything from cozy winter scarves to lightweight summer cardigans. The self-striping effect happens naturally as you work, creating beautiful color transitions that look like you spent hours planning each shade change.
For those who love variety in their yarn stash, consider pairing Toucan with complementary textures like Baby Wool for delicate contrast sections, or add shimmer to your projects with Mini Ladder Glitz for accent details. When you want to create matching accessories, Favorite in coordinating solid colors provides the perfect complement to Toucan's vibrant stripes.
Each package contains eight generous 50-gram balls, giving you plenty of yarn for larger projects or multiple smaller ones. The 130 meters per ball means you'll have approximately 1,040 meters total—enough for a full-size adult sweater, multiple scarves, or countless accessories. The medium weight classification makes it incredibly versatile, working beautifully with needle sizes ranging from US 7 to US 10, depending on your desired fabric drape.
Picture yourself creating a stunning striped blanket where every row reveals new color combinations, or knitting matching hats and mittens sets that capture the essence of a tropical sunset. The polyamide content adds remarkable strength and elasticity, making Toucan ideal for items that need to maintain their shape like fitted sweaters, while the wool content provides natural warmth and breathability.
Care is refreshingly simple—machine washable and lay flat to dry means your beautiful creations will look fantastic for years to come. The acrylic component ensures easy maintenance while the small percentage of wool adds that coveted natural fiber feel without the fuss of hand-washing delicate garments.
