Como Cashmere

COMO Cashmere is the new and even softer version of COMO made of 70% superfine merino wool with 17.5 microns and 30% cashmere. The carded and three-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT DK yarn also has a meterage of 120m on only 25g. COMO Cashmere gets its unique lightness due to an innovative production method through which the temperature-regulating and breathable properties of merino wool are supported positively even more. The blend of the very fine merino quality and cashmere make the feel wonderfully soft and give the yarn its particularly noble, silky matt surface. The mulesing-free raw merino wool for COMO Cashmere is sourced from selected Australian shepherds, the cashmere raw from Mongolia and China. The raw wool used is certified regarding animal welfare, sustainability, and social responsibility and we have it spun and dyed by a family-run traditional company in Italy. 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 Cashmere 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 Cashmere 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.
