Cobasi is a cotton, bamboo and silk blend that also has a generous amount of elastic nylon. It comes in 50 gram hanks and a wide range of colors, making it a perfect candidate for warm weather color work. Soft and machine washable, this will also be a go-to for hardy baby garments.
I used this yarn as a lining layer in a Beanie Hat. It worked super well. The young man I made it for hates the feel of wool, but needed the warmth and water shedding properties of wool. The hat was a big success.
I have made a few pairs of socks now with this yarn. The colors are bright and vibrant and the stitch details really pop. No wool in this yarn but plenty of cotton and nylon for comfort and stretch.
I'm done with one of two socks and I'm so happy! I've only ever made socks with wool/wool blends, and this is a nice change. The elastic lends some stretch to fibers that don't have much of their own, and the finished sock is very stretchy! Finished sock looks very nice, no pilling. It has good stitch definition and I would say this is a clean, comfy yarn for socks.
I made a shawl from this yarn using several colors. It was easy to knit. Has a wonderful feel. Perfect for year round use. Strong fibers. Washes well. Will definitely use again on my future projects like socks which would be great. Also like large selection of complementing yarn colors if you want to mix and match.
I bought 2 skeins for a pair of socks. The day after I was at the heel, when i could try it on I ordered 12 more skeins. It is a wonderful yarn to knit with and these socks are the best fitting ones I've ever made. They are perfect for summer but I'm sure I'll be wearing them in the winter
