ball band: "Worsted" · hand wash

70% lyocell30% pineapple

Worsted

The pineapple fiber in this yarn is obtained from the leaves of the pineapple plant, which would ordinarily be considered as waste and often burned. The fibers used are processes using sustainable methods, without the use of bleach. Instead of using harmful chemicals, an enzyme process is used to wash away contaminants and the rest of the process is completely mechanised to minimize the environmental impact. The pineapple fibers give the yarn a slightly rustic look and feel, without being scratchy, while the Lyocell lends a subtle sheen. The yarn is particularly suitable for eyelet lace patterns and it is naturally breathable.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
