Suave is a real specialty among pure cotton yarns because the fibres are not spun as usual: a kind of cotton mesh tube holds the loose fibres together. In addition, this vegan yarn has organic quality.
To make this unique yarn, the cotton fibres are gathered in India according to the strict ecological and social requirements of GOTS. They are then processed and dyed in Italy.
Suave is a wonderful, easy to handle yarn which can be used to knit and crochet alike.
When ironed, suave knitwear has a smooth surface; when brushed, the knitted fabric becomes soft and fluffy and is reminiscent of cashmere and mohair. This makes Suave a great alternative for vegans and people with allergies to wool!
Suave is not only perfect for light garments such as sweaters and cardigans, but also great for scarves and shawls due to its great drape. Because the yarn is so soft, it can be worn directly on the skin. It is great for children and people with sensitive skin!
Suave - cashmere feeling made from GOTS-certified cotton!
Knitted garments with Suave can be washed in the washing machine at 86 °F (30°C). It is advisable to use a mild detergent and choose a delicate cycle. Dry flat, preferably on a terry towel, to avoid stretching. Under no circumstances should you dry it directly on a heat source or in the blazing sun! If necessary, the knitted piece can be ironed at the lowest temperature setting.
