HØST is made of a tube of organic cotton and is a blow yarn. The organic tube is dyed with a special spraying technique, which gives the yarn a beautiful melange and a unique play of colours. A blend of recycled wool and organic cashmere, is blown into the tube. The cashmere turns the yarn into a luxury yarn.
HØST is suitable for everything from small projects as mittens, scarves, hats and vests, to bigger projects as sweaters and cardigans, and is a joy to work with.

It is recommended to HAND WASH the finished work with a wool detergent and lay it flat to dry.
When washing in the machine, the finished work can shrink up to 7%, but will stretch again in use. It is recommended to knit ribbing edges a little firm and slightly narrower, as these likewise will stretch in use.
