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 hand wash gently in lukewarm water (max 30°C / 86°F). Use a liquid detergent specifically designed for wool. Rinse gently without wringing.

Remove excess water by rolling the straightened garment inside a towel and pressing lightly. Reshape to measurements and dry flat. Avoid heat and direct sunlight during drying. Do not tumble dry.

CONCEPT BY KATIA

ZEKKEI, 100 g
SPECIAL EDITION

Indulge your senses with Concept by Katia’s Zekkei yarn. This soft and sophisticated single-ply yarn is made from extrafine merino wool (94%) and silk (6%). Its unique gradient dyeing and delicate color palette add warmth and subtle elegance to your knitted pieces. Zekkei is ideal for both knitting and crochet.

Zekkei is slightly thicker than the similar Hiro yarn. It can be used on its own or combined with, for example, Katia Atenea (merino–cashmere) or Silky Mohair. One 100 g beehive-shaped Zekkei cake contains over 270 meters of yarn.

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