⌁ Texture & Feel
Soft, smooth, and elastic with excellent recovery. The strand feels balanced and stable while remaining gentle against the skin. The fabric has beautiful structure and holds ribbing particularly well due to its natural elasticity.
⌁ Knitted Sample Notes
The sample was knitted in a single strand using US size 4 needles. The swatch shows beautiful elasticity and structure. It stretches slightly but returns to shape well after blocking. The fabric is lightweight, soft, and stable — excellent even for ribbing, as it maintains definition and recovery.
The yarn on cones has only minimal wax — just enough to allow smooth machine knitting. After washing, the fiber opens beautifully and the fabric becomes even softer.
