Celebrate color and texture with Trendsetter's worsted-weight Cin Cin yarn. Made in Italy, this fun slub yarn’s name means “Cheers!” or “to your health!”. It’s constructed of a blend of viscose, cotton, acrylic, and polyester and is one of the two yarns featured in Deborah Jarchow’s beautiful woven CinCin and Silkhair Poncho (available as a Pattern & Kit in our Pattern section).
Slub yarns are yarns with thick and thin sections alternating regularly or irregularly to create varied texture. Combine that with this yarn’s vibrant, eclectic colors, and Cin Cin is as much fun to work with as it is to wear! Great choice for knitting and crochet, as well as weaving.

Deborah Jarchow’s stunning woven CinCin & Silkhair Poncho combines two yarns to create a cloth with vibrant color and interesting texture. Both yarns feature subtle tonal color changes. The Cin Cin also features textural changes within the yarn itself. Areas of the yarn are smooth and slightly thinner, morphing into a thicker, bumpy structure that creates wonderful variety in the finished woven cloth. The loom is warped with alternate areas of the two yarns which gives the finished garment a subtle stripe.
The Cin Cin & Silkhair Poncho is designed to be woven on a 24" rigid heddle loom and requires 3 balls of Trendsetters' Cin Cin yarn and 1 ball of Lana Grossa's Silkhair Print yarn.
This pattern assumes you are familiar with direct warping and hemstitching.
