BC Garn Bio Balance GOTS: organic wool and cotton blend, 50 g

What is Bio Balance GOTS and what makes it special?

BC Garn Bio Balance GOTS is a carded yarn made from a blend of 55% organic wool and 45% organic cotton, certified to GOTS. The wool and cotton absorb the dye differently, so each ball has a natural heathered effect. The result is a soft, lightweight yarn offering good value for money for year-round knitting.

It is designed for anyone looking for a natural yarn with genuine traceability: the wool comes from mulesing-free farms in South America and the cotton is grown in Turkey, where the yarn is also spun and dyed.

What projects is Bio Balance GOTS ideal for?

It works well for transitional-season garments, babywear and projects where a soft feel against the skin is important. Its Light Fingering weight (approximately 25 stitches by 35 rows on 2 to 3 mm needles) makes it versatile for both knitting and crochet.

• ▷ Transitional-season garments: lightweight jumpers, cardigans and tops for spring and autumn.
• ▷ Organic yarn for baby clothes and accessories: soft, breathable and suitable for sensitive skin.
• ▷ Unisex garments: polo shirts, waistcoats and versatile cardigans.
• ▷ Colourwork and jacquard: the heathered effect adds unique depth without changing colour.
• ▷ Knitting, crochet and punch needle: creative projects throughout the year.

Advantages of knitting with this yarn

It stands out as a soft, good-quality yarn with very good value for money for a certified organic fibre. It is easy to work with for both knitting and crochet, and its palette of more than 25 heathered colours — also known as a melange effect — adds variety to any project.

• ▷ Soft to the touch from the first stitch, suitable for sensitive skin.
• ▷ Easy to work with, for both beginners and experienced knitters.
• ▷ Non-itchy: ideal for garments worn directly against the skin.
• ▷ More than 25 heathered colours created by the different way the fibres absorb the dye.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

It is best washed by hand, using cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent, without wringing the garment, and dried flat. The manufacturer has also tested machine washing on a delicate cycle at 30 °C with good results, although it recommends testing this first with a swatch.
