Made with 100% natural fibers, Pascuali Pinta is truly an all-weather heavy fingering weight or light sport weight yarn that can be used to make many different types of garments and accessories.
Pinta has a unique composition: 60% merino, 20% silk and 20% ramie. Pascuali sources its merino wool from Patagonia. It is mulesing free and is RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified. The mulberry silk gives Pinta a bit of shine and smoothness. Pinta gets its body from its other special ingredient: ramie, an eco-friendly fiber, highly sustainable and a very good alternative to synthetic fibers.
Pinta is perfect for year round knitting because of its thermoregulating properties. In addition, the flexibility of Pinta make it wrinkle resistant. Pinta is also a sustainable yarn which is both highly durable and completely biodegradable.
Pascuali pays special attention to a sustainable supply chain that meets its social, ethical, and ecological responsibility. From the farm to the finished yarn, Pascuali stands for high standards in terms of environmental protection, animal welfare, and working conditions.
