Composed of 95% recycled cashmere and 5% wool, this fine yarn has the wonderfully soft feel you’d expect from cashmere, with a little wool added to provide stability. It’s a lovely choice for accessories worn close to the skin, as well as lightweight sweaters and other special projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlva’s beautiful colours are created by carefully sorting reclaimed textile fibres by colour before they are shredded and spun into new yarn. No additional dyeing is needed, allowing the existing colours of the fibres to create the finished shades. As a result, slight colour variations between individual batches are to be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Special About BC Garn Alva?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95% recycled cashmere, 5% wool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally soft feel against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours created by sorting recycled fibres, without additional dyeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses 66% less water and 67% less energy than production from virgin fibres, according to BC Garn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction process certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYarn Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibre composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95% cashmere, 5% wool (recycled cashmere)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYarn weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115m per 25g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested needle sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.75mm, 3mm, 3.25mm or 3.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–24 stitches per 10cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Global Recycled Standard (GRS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedle size and gauge will vary depending on your project and knitting style, so be sure to knit a tension swatch before starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Can You Make with BC Garn Alva?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its lovely softness and lightweight feel, \u003cstrong\u003eBC Garn Alva\u003c\/strong\u003e is well suited to scarves, hats and other accessories you’ll want to wear again and again.
