Yarnart Bellıssımo - Marbled Hand Knitting Thread Marbled-1401

Product description

Yarnart bellissimo is a sophisticated representative of the yarnart collection in the medium (worsted) category, with its four-component premium blend structure consisting of 13% mohair, 67% acrylic, 16% polyester and 4% polyamide. the name bellissimo, which means 'very beautiful, perfect' in italian, directly reflects the character and usage of this yarn: a premium winter yarn experience where luxurious feel, elegant appearance and functional performance come together in the knitting field.

The defining characteristic of this series is its mohair component. comprising 13% of the yarn, this natural fiber, sourced from the angora goat, gives the yarn a characteristic halo effect. this fine, soft, and light layer of fuzz that forms around the knitted surface adds depth, warmth, and visual richness to the project. the intensity of the mohair halo varies depending on the needle size used, the tension of the knit, and the chosen color. to complete this character, 67% acrylic provides durability and shape retention, while 16% polyester offers lightness and color stability. finally, 4% polyamide adds tear resistance and abrasion resistance.

Care instructions

Bellissimo's mohair content requires certain care.mohair fibers are sensitive to heat and mechanical stress, incorrect washing can cause irreparable damage:

Washing

• Hand wash or the most gentle/machine wool program is recommended - do not exceed 30°c.
• Cold water rinsing is sufficient; if warm water is preferred, the washing and rinsing water should be at the same temperature.
• Abrupt temperature changes can cause mohair-containing yarns to felt - this is irreversible damage.
• Never use bleach or whitener; it permanently damages the mohair fibers.
• For mohair yarns, a special lanolin-containing shampoo or wool shampoo is recommended.
• Definitely avoid scrubbing motions - scrubbing triggers matted down.
• Fill the washing container, immerse the yarn, and gently press to wash; rinse in the same way.

Drying

• Never put it in the dryer - the heat and agitation will feltize the mohair fibers, which is not reversible.
• Gently press out excess water by wrapping in a towel; do not wring or twist.
• Dry it by laying it out on a flat surface.
• Do not hang dry; wet mohair will become heavy and the yarn will stretch and lose its shape.
• Dry in an airy shade area away from direct sunlight.

Ironing and storage

• Do not iron directly - mohair fibers are very sensitive to heat and can be permanently crushed and dull the luster.
• If necessary, apply the steam iron from a distance (non-contact); do not directly contact the fabric.
• Store finished items rolled rather than folded as mohair fibers will permanently crush if left under pressure.
• Be aware of moth damage - as it contains 13% natural mohair fibre, moth protection is recommended.
• Store in cool, dry and dark conditions in air-permeable bags.
