Sandnes Garn KOS
62% alpaca, 29% nylon and 9% wool
Weight: Bulky / 12 ply (7 wpi)
Kos consists of alpaca fibers that are combined with wool and blown into a nylon stocking. This results in a soft, light and airy yarn.
Alpaca is about three times warmer than ordinary wool and thus insulates well. The fiber is hollow and breathable, so it feels warm in cold temperatures and cool in warm ones. The wool added to this blend provides resilience and volume. Both alpaca and wool have good heat-regulating properties.
For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
YARDAGE: APPROX. 150 METERS PER 50 GRAMS
KNITTING NEEDLES: KNITTING
KNITTING TENSION: 18-16 STS = 10 CM
ORIGIN OF RAW MATERIAL: WOOL FROM URUGUAY, ALPACA WOOL FROM PERU

Published Thursday, 22 August 20245 out of 5Delivery is crazy fast at ribbon rose! And this yarn is to die for! Knits up to jerseys really well, looks stunning with cable and is sooo soft. One downside is it's prone to breaking.
