Como is superfine merino — just 18.5 microns — comes mulesing-free from a handful of trusted Australian shepherds, then travels to Italy, where a family-run mill spins and dyes it the way they have for generations. The raw wool is certified for animal welfare, sustainability, and fair labor, and the finished yarn carries OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I — the level safe for clothing made for babies and toddlers. What makes Como special is how little it weighs: a three-ply, carded DK that gives you 120 m from just 25 g. That lightness is the whole point. Big sweaters feel airy instead of heavy, and the merino's natural spring helps them hold their shape beautifully. The soft wool halo settles into a quietly matte surface, so colorwork reads crisp and clean. Knit it on its own for anything that should feel cuddly against skin, or hold it with one of your other yarns for added softness — it pairs naturally with the kid-mohair Premia for extra fluff, or with alpaca for warmth. And don't fear the wash: a cool water, wool cycle actually wakes Como up — the wool blooms back softer, fuller, and the stitches sit closer together. 120 m / 25 g · Superlight DK · Machine wash 30° wool cycle, dry flat away from sunlightPattern Suggestions:TONI vestCoomo CardiganHelia pullover - holding Premia and Como togetherWhisp triangle scarf - holding Premia and Como togetherClose to Me Sweater - holding Premia and Como togetherAdeen - holding Premia and Como togetherGrace colorwork pullover - - holding Premia and Como togetherMere Cardigan - holding Premia and Como togetherMere Hat - - holding Premia and Como together
