[Description][Lang Yarns Orion -For stargazers and moon worshippers, Lang Yarns have created the yarn ORION - inspired by the subtle shades of the Orion Nebula in the constellation of the same name.
This generous ball of extrafine merino wool is reminiscent of a lofty cloud, and it flies off the needles like a shooting star in the night sky, thanks to a chunky needle size of 6-7 mm. Don’t forget to make a wish!

Sara's Yarn Review:
I fell in love with Orion Chunky yarn at first sight, it is light and lofty and feels so soft, making it a joy to work with. The colours are beautiful and effortlessly change from one to another and each one is entirely different.
This is a luxury blend of 88% virgin wool and 12% nylon so at first glance it could seem expensive however it goes such a long way, I knitted an XL version of the Petite Knits Sunday Sweater and only used 3 balls. I loved it so much I knitted it twice!
