WASHI follows the tradition of noble japanese paper yarns with an extremely silky softness. The yarn has a good stitch definition and therefore also shows lace patterns nicely. The paper is twisted with a rayon thread which gives the necessary stability to garments and accessories.
WASHI is washable. We recommend handwash.
Paper yarns have a lasting tradition in Japan! They are often compared to silk in their noble character and have similar properties to silk: Cooling in summer and warming in winter. WASHI can be knit single stranded for lace and lightweight summer scarfs. For shirts and jackets we recommend to knit WASHI double stranded or in combination with NIJI or ASA.
WASHI folgt mit seiner außergewöhnlich seidigen Weichheit dem edlen Ruf der japanischen Papiergarne. Es zeigt ein luftiges, schön strukturiertes Maschenbild, mit dem auch Lacemuster gut zur Geltung kommen. Der verzwirnte Viskosefaden verleiht dem Garn die für Kleidung und Accessoires erforderliche Stabilität und Reißfestigkeit.
Das Garn ist waschbar. Wir empfehlen Handwäsche.
Papiergarne haben in Japan eine lange Tradition! Sie werden als ebenso edel wie Seide angesehen. Auch die Eigenschaften von Papier sind mit denen von Seide zu vergleichen: Im Sommer kühlend, im Winter wärmend. WASHI kann für Lace- und Ajourmuster sowie leichte Sommerschals einzeln verstrickt werden. Für Sommerkleidung empfehlen wir die Verarbeitung mit doppeltem Faden oder in Kombination mit NIJI oder ASA.
