Baco,
made in Italy

Lana Grossa Baco is an insanely soft
, velvety, and air-weight ribbon yarn spun from 70/30 silk and mercerized cotton blend. With regards to its softness, we can compare Baco only with either angora fiber or microfiber, which are the softest fibers known. Baco is ideal for year-round fashion knitted in different styles, including open-work and bulky patterns on larger needles: sweaters, dresses, tops, jackets, and accessories. * "Baco da seta" = silkworm (Italian).
