Cosy
A wonderfully soft and high quality cotton mix
Cosy’s thread is perfect for knitted cardigans and sweaters. The thread is relatively lightweight, soft and with a very special elasticity, which keeps the knit beautiful and the shape in place. The nature of the fiber gives a special fluffyness, which is great to knit beautiful sweaters.
It can be said about the Cosy yarn that it is a bit vintage-like in its expression – a yarn that gives warmth and offers a breathable fabric to wear.
Cosy has been awarded the AZO certificate and is thus a yarn that everyone can feel safe using.

The chains are pulled through the holes, and tied together under the cart.
