CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wool garments love fresh air, so air them frequently. Small stains can be removed locally using a cloth dampened with diluted wool detergent and rinsed with clean water.

Turn the garment inside out and gently hand wash in lukewarm water (max 30°C). Use a liquid detergent specifically designed for wool. Rinse gently without wringing. Remove excess water by rolling the straightened garment inside a terry towel and pressing lightly. Shape the garment to its measurements on a towel and dry flat. Avoid heat and direct sunlight during drying. Do not tumble dry.

HIRO Merino–Silk, 150 g
SPECIAL EDITION

The unique HIRO merino-silk yarn by Concept by Katia brings a special charm to your knitting projects. This luxurious yarn is a blend of 94% extrafine merino wool and 6% silk, making it exceptionally soft and smooth to the touch. HIRO is dyed in beautiful gradient shades and features a stunning, delicate color palette. It is suitable for both knitting and crochet.

If you are looking for something truly special, forget ordinary yarns and let your hands enjoy the delicate softness of Hiro. It can be used on its own or combined, for example, with Katia Atenea Merino-Cashmere or Silky Mohair yarn. One 150 g beehive-shaped ball of Hiro contains approximately 510 meters of yarn.

The merino wool originates from Australia and South America, and the yarn is spun in Spain.
