Como - Lamana

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 (131 yd. on only 0.88 oz.) 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 matt 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 is dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for baby products.

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.

COMO can excellently be worked one-stranded, but also offers the ideal basis for combinations with our other qualities. For an extra portion of fluff and even more softness, COMO can be wonderfully knitted with our Super-Kid mohair yarn PREMIA, but also MODENA and our alpaca yarns PIURA and CUSI are perfect as accompanying yarns.
