Cheetah – Woolia
About color rendering
We always do our utmost to ensure that the product images reproduce the colors correctly. However, monitors display colors differently, some may display them deeper and stronger while others brighter. We therefore cannot guarantee that the pictures show the exact color of the yarn. You can always email us at info@lillagarnbutiken.se if you want to see more pictures.
Wash and care
This yarn is best washed by hand with wool detergent, for example Eucalan. Leave the garment in a tub with about 4 liters of water together with a teaspoon of wool detergent. Then gently squeeze out the water and place the garment on a towel. Roll the towel with the garment and squeeze out the water.
If you have a washing machine that can run a spin-only program, you can use this instead of squeezing out the water in a towel. If you are unsure about your washing machine, we recommend that you knit a test patch that you wash and spin to see how the yarn and fabric behave.
Let the garment dry flat, preferably on a towel.
Woolia is a new, durable and ecological yarn that fits knitting needles 4-6 mm. Sheep and lambs wander between fruit and olive trees on organic farms and surroundings. Woolia is spun from the wool of lambs and sheep from an original breed of merino sheep, Merino Gentile Puglia. This breed lived and now lives in a small area in Puglia, Italy.
Woolia is a soft yarn that does not pill. The garments become light and the yarn gives a fine structure and mesh definition. The yarn can be knitted on several needles, but it is most common to reach a knitting strength of 16-18 stitches.
