Description
COMO Grande is the twice as thick version of COMO. The six-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT yarn made of 100% superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns thus achieves the category Bulky (yardage 131 yd. on 1.76 oz.). The carded yarn gets its unique lightness and its extremely soft feel through an innovative manufacturing method. The temperature-regulating and breathable properties of merino wool are supported positively, and the light wool fluff creates a noble, discreetly matte surface.
The mulesing-free raw wool for COMO Grande 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 Grande particularly versatile. Thanks to the softness and machine washability it is very suitable for baby clothes, accessories and everything that should be cuddly soft.
Care: COMO Grande 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.
