232 yards, Fingering Weight, 60% Merino Wool, 20% Silk, 20% Ramie
Made with 100% natural fibers, Pascuali's Pinta was originally intended to be a sock yarn, but soon it proved to be much more than that: it is truly an allrounder wonderful yarn that can be used to knit many different kinds of garments and accessories.
What distinguishes Pinta from other yarns is its very unique composition: 60% merino, 20% silk and 20% ramie. Pascuali sources our merino wool from Patagonia. It is mulesing free and is RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified. The mulberry silk gives it a glossy shine and smoothness. It gets its robustness from its other very special ingredient: ramie, an eco-friendly fiber, highly sustainable and a very good alternative to synthetic fibers, is a plant fiber of the nettle family noted for its length and toughness.
Pinta is perfect for all-year-round clothing due to its thermoregulating properties. No matter how hot it is outside, you’ll feel fresh all day long. The elastic properties of Pinta make it extremely wrinkle resistant. Due to its wonderful blend, Pinta is more flexible, bends delicately against your skin and doesn’t itch one bit. This hypoallergenic yarn treats your skin softly and with great care. As usual, we put Pinta on our needles.
Pinta also supports the concept of sustainability and is naturally 100% ecological! It is highly durable and completely biodegradable which helps to prevent unnecessary waste. The fact that it does not have to be washed so frequently thanks to its natural self-cleaning properties also has a positive impact on the environment.
Pascuali's vision is that rare, luxurious yarns of exceptional quality can be created with a focus on fair-trade, ecological production & care for the animals. Their yarns are created for fiber artists who value high quality, as well as a strong sense of social responsibility. From the fiber itself to the way they package their finished product, sustainability is a key element of Pascuali's philosophy. For example, more than 90% of their shipping is done with DHL GoGreen Service meaning every package is shipping in a CO2-neutral manner. They also contribute to a reforestation program.
