STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is the world’s leading certification within textiles, and the demands go far beyond the current standard rules in both Denmark and EU. You can find the certificate on the label and read more about STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® on www.okotex.dk.
Økologisk Sommeruld is a classic 3-threaded mixed yarn, consisting of 70% organic merino wool and 30% organic cotton. Økologisk Sommeruld has a length on 230 meters per 50 grams. The recommended gauge is 26-28 sts x 40 rows and the recommended needle size is 2.5 – 3.5 mm.
Økologisk Sommeruld’s blend of merino wool and cotton gives a lightness and softness, that is particularly suitable for baby and children’s clothes. The combination of merino wool and cotton provides a delicate alternative to 100% wool and can be used for summer tops, t-shirts and blouses, without getting too warm, but often warm enough for the often cool Nordic summers.
Økologisk Sommeruld in the basic colour Råhvid 2001 (off-white), is a basic yarn suitable for plant dyeing or other dyeing, where you want an organic yarn as base. Økologisk Sommeruld absorbs colours beautiful and even and is easy to handle in the colour pot after being wound to skeins and is hardy in the colouring process.
The colour card of Økologisk Sommeruld is designed considering to the possibility to combine neutral, constrasting or similar hues, as well as mottle by knitting with two strands. The colour card is regularly extended in line with current trends, so it is always updated and inspiring for individual colour combinations.
Økologisk Sommeruld is suitable for crocheting and provides a good dimensional stability because of its content of cotton, and does not get heavy when crocheting or knitting bigger blankets, because of its content of 70% wool.
With Økologisk Sommeruld, you get all the benefits from the natural fibers combined with high quality, organics, environment, animal welfare, sustainability, and last but not least, great pleasure handling the yarn in the working process in many good hours of knitting, crocheting and embroidering.
About color reproduction
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
The yarn producer writes that this yarn can be machine washed on a wool program with wool detergent. Please note that this is only the case if you knit with the yarn alone, if you knit together with other yarn qualities, we at Lilla garnbutiken recommend that you wash by hand.
You can of course wash this garment by hand, we then recommend that you wash 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.
