Filatura di Crosa Zara is near to an 8 ply yarn in guage.
It is a five strand spin from extra fine Merino Wool.
It is comprised of 100% Wool, Australian Merino spun in Italy.
The tension is 23 Stitches and 31 Rows to 10 X 10 cm over stocking stitch on 4.00mm needles.
It comes in 50gm balls with 125 metres per ball.
The feature of this yarn is its lovely handle with a soft smooth finish and thus smooth to wear against the skin. The 5 strand spin gives a smooth look to the finished garment and a reluctance to pill, and is a joy to knit with as it is reluctant to split and slides smoothly through the needles.
Filatura di Crosa Zara is Machine wash.
Dry Cleanable.
Can be cool ironed.
