Care: Hand Wash Only, do not tumble dry, reshape whilst damp.
Kos consists of alpaca fibers that are combined with wool and blown into a nylon stocking. This results in a soft, light and airy yarn.
Alpaca is about three times warmer than ordinary wool and thus insulates well. The fiber is hollow and breathable, so it feels warm in cold temperatures and cool in warm ones. The wool added to this blend provides resilience and volume. Both alpaca and wool have good heat-regulating properties.
Sandnes Garn, established in 1888, stands as Northern Europe's top producer of hand-knitting yarn. Housed in one of the world's oldest continuously operating factories, it seamlessly blends rich heritage with innovative practices. They champions strict welfare standards, ensuring ethical and sustainable production processes from sheep to mill.
