About This Yarn

Loveful Bio Blend The first hand knitting yarn to be made with award-winning CiCLO® technology. This revolutionary wool blend will knit, wear and wash, like all your tried and trusted Sirdar favourites. The innovation is at the end of its useful life when those CiCLO® treated fibres will behave more like the natural wool in the blend, reducing the time they persist in the environment.

Smooth and silky soft to knit or crochet, Loveful Bio Blend brings beautiful stitch definition to your makes. And despite its revolutionary sustainable qualities, it doesn’t ask you to compromise on supreme softness, beautiful design or cost to make.
