HiKoo Yarn - CoBaSi - Apple 116
Apple is a
Okay, so you have to try HiKoo CoBaSi—it’s seriously such a cool yarn. The name’s actually a mashup of what it’s made from: COtton, BAmboo, SIlk, and a bit of elastic nylon. So yeah, it’s non-wool, super breathable, stretchy, and crazy soft. Perfect if wool makes you itchy or you just want something comfy for summer stuff.
And get this—it’s cable plied, which means each strand is made of three mini strands: two are tightly spun and one’s a bit looser. That combo gives it this amazing bounce and stretch, so it hugs the body beautifully. Great for socks, fitted tops, or anything that needs a little give.
It’s also really round (I know, weird thing to say about yarn, but trust me), so your stitches look super crisp. Lace, cables, colorwork—whatever you throw at it, it handles like a champ. And because it’s plant-based, it’s light and easy to care for. I’ve even used it for baby stuff and it holds up so well.
Basically, if you want a yarn that’s soft, stretchy, and won’t make your skin freak out—this is it. You’ll love it.
