Filatura di Crosa Zara Chine 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.
This yarn consists of two or three shade of the same colour spun together.
Filatura di Crosa Zara Chine is Machine wash.
Dry Cleanable.
Can be cool ironed.
