Santiago garn

Dansk

Santiago bliver spundet på et italiensk spinderi med stor fokus på kvalitet og har den lækreste, uldne blanding med et supertyndt net af recycled polyamid, som både holder sammen på de fine fibre og øger slidstyrken. Fiberindholdet er nøje afbalanceret for at opnå den helt særligt bløde og fluffy blanding, som er kendetegnende for Santiago.

Alpaka og uld er naturlige fibre, som både varmer og giver god åndbarhed. Santiago er derfor også det ideelle garn til både at strikke og hækle fx tøj, lækre accessoires som huer og sjaler eller skønne vamsede tæpper. Den ekstra fine merinould er enormt blød – også mod sart hud, og detflorlette garngør Santiago til et dejligt garn at arbejde med.

Måske kender du kvaliteten Mayflower New Sky. Santiago er en forbedret udgave af denne kvalitet. Forskellen er, at Santiago indeholder mere merinould, og at ulden er i den ekstrafine kvalitet. Garnet er derfor endnu bedre, meget blødere og nemmere at strikke med. En anden forskel er, at der er i Santiago er brugt 100% genanvendt polyamid. New Sky var meget elastisk, hvilket kunne være udfordrende ift. strikkefasthed. Santiago er mindre elastisk – kun lige nok til at give de fine fibre ekstra hold i dit strik. Da Santiago har samme strikkefasthed som New Sky, kan du sagtens bruge Santiago til opskrifter, som oprindeligt var udviklet til New Sky. Vi anbefaler, at du altid laver en hækle- eller strikkeprøve først, som vaskes, inden du måler. Dermed har du bedre mulighed for at ramme den præcise strikkefasthed, som er angivet i din opskrift.

Santiago kommer i en række smukke farver, hvoraf nogle er klassikere fra den udgåede New Sky-kvalitet, mens andre er helt nye nuancer.

Santiago is spun at an Italian spinning mill with a strong focus on quality and has the most delicious, woolly blend with a super thin net of recycled polyamide, which both holds the fine fibers together and increases durability. The fiber content is carefully balanced to achieve the particularly soft and fluffy blend that is characteristic of Santiago.

Alpaca and wool are natural fibers that both warm and provide good breathability. Santiago is therefore also the ideal yarn for both knitting and crocheting, for example, clothing, lovely accessories like hats and shawls, or beautiful fluffy blankets. The extra fine merino wool is extremely soft – even against sensitive skin, and the lightweight yarn makes Santiago a delightful yarn to work with.

You might know the quality Mayflower New Sky. Santiago is an improved version of this quality. The difference is that Santiago contains more merino wool, and the wool is of extra fine quality. The yarn is therefore even better, much softer, and easier to knit with. Another difference is that Santiago uses 100% recycled polyamide. New Sky was very elastic, which could be challenging in relation to Knitting gauge. Santiago is less elastic – just enough to give the fine fibers extra hold in your knitting. Since Santiago has the same Knitting gauge as New Sky, you can easily use Santiago for Patterns, which was originally developed for New Sky. We recommend that you always make a crochet or knitting sample first, which is washed before you measure. This way, you have a better chance of hitting the precise Knitting gauge indicated in your Pattern.

Santiago comes in a range of beautiful colors, some of which are classics from the discontinued New Sky quality, while others are completely new shades.
