Incredible 4 ply by Orkney Angora, made in Scotland 
|
|
Incredible 4 ply is a premium quality German Angora with a very low percent of shedding. This yarn is the same as Incredible DK, but in 4 ply fingering /light sport weight and suitable for hand and machine knitting. We would like to note that Orkney Angora is located on the Isle of Sanday, where winters are severe and living without angora knitwear is impossible (it is 7 time warmer than sheep wool). The local people use angora not only for knitting clothes, but also for making very thin angora underwear and medicinal articles (different types of warmers), and wear them next to the skin to protect themselve from the local cold.
Washing instructions: 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.
