100% Pure Angora
Enlarge

 


Incredible DK by Orkney Angora,
made in Scotland
natural

Incredible DK is a first grade (premium) German Angora in 50 gr balls made in Scotland. This 100% pure angora is short-haired, unbrushed, silky and velvety to touch, and has a low percent of shedding unlike French Angora. It is available in 36 solid colours and two yarn weights: 4 ply-fingering /light sport weight or double knit. It is suitable for hand and machine knitting as well as for felting, great for sports wear.

Benefits of angora knitwear
Garments knitted from natural angora are feather-weight, can "breathe" and do not have any volume, being 7 times warmer than sheep wool. Vests made from this yarn are great as sportswear for snowboarding, skiing and running: when you wear a vest made from this yarn, you won't be cold at -15C and won't be hot at +10C when riding your snowboard even on a "black" hill. Angora wear looks very elegant, it closely fits your figure and keeps your shape excellently, even after many washes.
Garment Care
This yarn is easy to care for: wash a garment with eucalyptus wash or any other woolwash "no rinse" in lukewarm water, dry flat pulling the garment into correct shape, away from direct heat and sunshine. The yarn dries quickly as all quality, worsted (tightly spun) yarns. Do not wring out the garment - roll it in a towel and gently press to remove excess water. Do not iron, and never hang an angora knitwear on a hanger, it will stretch the shape.

* Notes: 1) as this yarn is dyed by hand in small batches, a tone-on-tone colour variation on the thread may occur; 2) there may be slight flaws in the colour at the first wash, this is natural for commercial dyes on natural fibers; 3) only balls of the same dyelot are supplied per order.
