HiKoo Yarn - CoBaSi - Natural Olive 08
In the HiKoo CoBaSi yarn line, Natural Olive 08 is a soft, muted green with brown or gray undertones, resembling the natural color of olive fruit. This shade of olive is more earthy and subdued, giving it a natural, rustic appearance. The "natural" aspect suggests that the color has a subtle, toned-down quality, making it less vibrant than brighter greens, but warm and versatile. It evokes an organic, woodland feel and pairs beautifully with other earth tones like browns, beiges, and creams, as well as soft grays and off-whites. This shade is ideal for projects where you want to create a calm, grounded, and sophisticated look—perfect for garments and accessories with an understated, timeless aesthetic.
HiKoo CoBaSi is a uniquely constructed yarn. It is composed of COtton, BAmboo, SIlk, and elastic nylon, which is where the name CoBaSi comes from. HiKoo CoBaSi is a great yarn choice if you're looking for a non-wool, breathable, stretchy, and durable yarn that works well for garments requiring elasticity, like socks and fitted clothing, while offering softness and comfort for sensitive skin.
This is a cable plied yarn. Each of the 3 plies that make up the HiKoo CoBaSi are comprised of 3 plies, 2 plies of tightly spun fiber, and 1 ply of loosely spun fiber. This gives this yarn excellent stretch, making it ideal for summer wear and form fitting garments. The yarn is also very round, giving superb stitch definition.
HiKoo CoBaSi is perfect for those with a wool sensitivity, a very breathable yarn, and the plant fiber content makes it light and easy to care for. The elasticity of the yarn makes it ideal for socks, and has been used for knitters to do all kinds of socks, from lace to cables to colorwork, to just plain vanilla. The easy care and stretch make it perfect for projects for children as well.
