Set of 2 Skeins SMC Catania Originals 100% Mercerized Cotton Yarn

Schachenmayr's well-known and popular Catania yarn is produced from high-quality 100% combed and mercerized cotton. Recommended for both knitting and crochet, Catania is an excellent choice for summery garments and airy accessories, thanks to its cool and lightweight comfort. The super-wide range of 100 colors leaves nothing more to be desired, making it a highly sought-after yarn, especially in the world of Amigurumis.

Catania is a 100% cotton yarn that has been treated to make it extra soft and glossy, similar to silk. Categorized as a sport-weight (5-ply) yarn, it is suitable for a variety of projects, with a recommended crochet hook size of 2.5 mm and a recommended knitting needle size of 3.5 mm (US 4).

The use of cotton as a fiber is highly advantageous, as it is a soft material that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant. Cool, soft, and comfortable, cotton is currently the world's most widely used fiber. Catania's cotton composition makes it easy to work with, providing a pleasant and enjoyable knitting or crocheting experience.

To ensure the longevity and color retention of Catania garments, it is important to follow specific washing instructions. For the first wash, the garment should be washed at 60°C. After the initial wash, it should be washed according to the recommended 40°C setting. This protocol helps to prevent any potential bleeding of color, ensuring the vibrant hues of the Catania yarn remain intact.

Moreover, Schachenmayr's article 9801210 Catania Uni (100% cotton) has been reviewed and approved in accordance with the European standard for toy safety, DIN EN 71-3:2019. This certification ensures the yarn's suitability for the production of toys, providing parents and caregivers with the assurance of safety and quality.

In summary, Schachenmayr's Catania is a versatile, high-quality cotton yarn that is perfect for a wide range of knitting and crocheting projects, from summery garments to delightful Amigurumi creations. Its soft, lightweight, and comfortable properties, combined with the extensive color palette and easy-care instructions, make it a top choice for both experienced and novice crafters alike.
