Description
DROPS Fabel – superwash treated sock wool
Both print and long print colours in DROPS Fabel are produced with a method called “fancy dyeing” that differs from other methods in that each dye lot has small variations in both pattern and nuance. This is no fault or defect, but part of the yarn’s character.
Knitted samples in this shade card show the transitions you get when knitting a few number of stitches, as in socks, so you can expect the colour gradient to look different/vary in projects with a different width.
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0099), Standard 100, Class I from the INNOVATEXT TEXTILE ENGINEERING AND TESTING, HUNGARY. This means that is has been tested for harmful substances and is considered safe in human-ecological terms. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).
