It’s already December, this year went by pretty fast!

As we posted previous about BALLOON, today I will be sharing with you about BALLOON COTTON. 

Just a recap, BALLOON is a wool and Acrylic blend.

What is Bulky Acrylic? Why does it inflate?

Acrylic is known for its shrinking features. However, Bulky Acrylic uses a complex yarn structure that contains air when heated/steamed. Thereby you can get a fuller, voluminous fabric.

Why choose Acrylic？

• Similar to wool acrylic retains heat but is lighter
• Has the bouncy features of wool, less likely to create wrinkles
• Easier to dye, great color performance and good results for color fastness
• Doesn’t get affected by sunlight compared to other fibers
• No moth holes or mold

With the use of bulky acrylic you can achieve a even bulky wool imitation. For BALLOON COTTON, you get to enjoy more knitted options with a cotton yarn blend.

It has a total of three different yarn weights, 

BALLOON COTTON 7 Nm 2.700
