Ecolana  is the first yarn we want to highlight. A single-ply fiber that stands out because of its natural composition.
Quite rustic at first sight, but with a warm and fluffy feel. Nature gives the splendid color range: this yarn has no chemical washing nor coloring. The 5 colour variations are the ones of wool in its purity.

🌈: 5 colors
🧶: 100-gram skein, single-ply
🥢: recommended 6mm needles
💡: 100% organic wool, rustic look, soft touch.
