BRISTOL is a refined Italian sport-weight yarn by RiGo, spun from a luxurious blend of merino, silk, and polyamide for knitwear that feels soft, elegant, and beautifully wearable. The merino provides warmth and elasticity, silk adds a subtle sheen and fluid drape, and polyamide gives durability and shape retention — making this an excellent choice for everyday pieces that still look polished and elevated.

This yarn knits into a smooth, even fabric with clean stitch definition and a comfortable hand. It’s the perfect “go-to” sport weight when you want softness, longevity, and a touch of luxury without sacrificing practicality.
