Tencel-Cotton, 50 g

Katia Best Basics Tencel-Cotton is a high-quality Lyocell-cotton blend yarn for the most beautiful summer knits! Thanks to the Lyocell fibers, the yarn has a subtle sheen and is effortless to knit with.

TENCEL™ Lyocell is an exceptionally eco-friendly material made from responsibly sourced FSC-certified eucalyptus wood pulp. Lyocell fibers give fabrics a natural softness and smooth feel. The refined fiber structure feels pleasant against the skin and enhances overall wearing comfort. The fibers also offer excellent moisture regulation: Lyocell efficiently absorbs and releases moisture, helping maintain a comfortable feel against the skin.

With Tencel-Cotton, you can knit or crochet beautiful tops, sweaters, cardigans, and accessories for the whole family.

Instructions for the sample garments shown in the photos can be found on Katia’s website. The striped women’s top (size M) requires 4+2 balls. The crocheted women’s dress (size M/L) requires 10 balls, and the yellow halterneck top (one size) requires 4 balls. The men’s long-sleeved sweater (size L) requires a total of 13 balls. The children’s knitted top (sizes 2–4–6–8–10 years) requires 3–3–4–4–5 balls.

Tencel-Cotton yarn is designed and manufactured in Spain.
