Lana Grossa Babykid Uni, made in Italy
|
Superkid mohair blended with microfiber comes into an incredibly soft and air-weight mohair yarn. It is just slightly fuzzy and is not "heavy" unlike regular bulky classic mohairs. Babykid is suitable for any kind of hand knitting projects (it is not itchy as well): sweaters, shawls, stoles and scarves, hats, capes, ponchos, and is ideal for any open-work designs. Besides, it is an "economy class" yarn: you need 6 balls of Babykid to knit a medium size sweater. !
• For information: Microfiber is an extremely fine syntethic or natural fiber used to produce ultra light-weight fabrics. Mostly, it is available in polyester, nylon, acrylic and rayon.
