Como

COMO is a three-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT DK yarn made of 100% superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns. The carded yarn with a meterage of 120m on only 25g 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 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. Fair Isle gets a great look and especially larger knitwear benefits from the low weight, holding the shape excellently due to the elasticity in combination with the lightness of the yarn.

Care: COMO can be washed in the washing machine using the wool cycle at 86°. 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.
