Catania, Schachenmayr's 100% mercerised cotton yarn, has a wonderfully soft feel, is lightweight and features a gorgeous sheen. Thanks to the breathable quality of cotton, this yarn is ideally suited for knitting and crocheting stylish clothing and accessories, but of course it is also ideal to make baby and toddler toys and amigurumi. Catania is certified in accordance with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label, product class 1, meaning that it is free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use (including newborns). In addition, the solid colours (item no. 9801210) have the EN 71-3 quality mark, which indicates that the yarn is suitable for making toys, according to the European safety standard. The yarn is made from 100% mercerised cotton and is washable up to 40°C. The recommended needle size is 2.50-3.50mm (gauge tension: 26 stitches x 36 rows = 10 x 10cm). One ball of Catania weighs 50 grams and holds approximately 125 metres of yarn. The Catania Amigurumi Boxes are ideal for making amigurumi or other items that require many colours in small quantities such as granny squares or Fair Isle knitting (for example, Norwegian motifs). It is a brilliant addition to your own yarn collection, but also nice to give as a gift.
