Lana Grossa BACO [70% Silk, 30% Mercerized Cotton]

Linea Rossa Baco, made in Italy

If somebody asks you to describe what is ribbon, perhaps it would be a few standard phrases like "3 cm wide", "not flexible much", "reminding lining", "for tying", "needles No. 15", etc. Don’t be in hurry to use these words, because you can be wrong. Lana Grossa Baco is an ^{insanely soft} , velvety, and air-weight ribbon yarn spun from 70/30 silk and mercerized cotton blend. With regards to its softness, we can compare this yarn only with either angora fiber or microfiber, which are the softest fibers known. Baco is ideal for all-year-round fashion knitted in different styles, including open-work and bulky patterns on larger needles: sweaters, dresses, tops, jaskets, and accessories.
