Description
COMO is a three-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT DK yarn made of 100% superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns. The yarn gets its unique lightness and extremely soft feel through an innovative manufacturing method.
The mulesing-free raw wool for COMO is sourced from selected Australian shepherds and is spun and dyed in Italy by a family-run traditional company. The merino wool used is certified regarding animal welfare, sustainability and social responsibility; and this yarn is certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Product Class I (textiles and materials for infants and toddlers up to three years of age).
These properties make COMO particularly versatile. Thanks to the softness and machine washability it is very suitable for baby clothes, accessories and everything that should be cuddly soft. COMO can be worked one-stranded, but also offers the ideal basis for combinations with our other bases. For an extra portion of fluff and even more softness, COMO can be wonderfully knitted with our Super-Kid mohair yarn PREMIA.
Care: COMO can be washed in the washing machine using the wool cycle at 30°. The wool then blooms again and becomes noticeably softer, fluffier and the knitting pattern even more dense. We recommend the use of a neutral, mild wool detergent without enzymes and plasticizers, in very low doses. Then dry the knitted piece gently lying flat and avoid direct sunlight.
