Description
ICA is an aran-weight, vegan cotton yarn in chain structure made of 100% organic pima cotton, exclusively from Peruvian Pima cotton.
Also referred to as silk of South America, this premium cotton type with a fiber length of up to 40mm is one of the highest quality cotton types worldwide. The extra-long cotton fibers give the Pima yarn its outstanding softness and make it very durable. Peruvian Pima cotton grows under the ideal climatic conditions and is harvested very gently by hand, thereby the fiber remains as undamaged as possible and the cotton receives its characteristic, bright white.
ICA is spun and dyed directly by Lamana's fair-trade certified production partner in Peru. Due to the chain structure, this quality is easy to knit especially for beginners and is also ideal for crocheting. Accessories, practical shopping bags, or exclusive potholders get a noble look and silky feel with ICA. Knitted lace and textured patterns are exceptionally beautifully in Ica. Easy to care for and machine washable, ICA is a good choice for baby and children’s knitwear as well as clothes or doilies.
Care: ICA can be washed in the wool cycle in the washing machine at 30°. 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.
