When we introduced CoBaSi, a wool-free sock yarn that wouldn’t irritate or overheat, it was such a hit that we knew we had to develop a heavier version. Meet CoBaSi Plus, a worsted weight wonder which combines cotton, viscose from bamboo, silk and elastic nylon, creating that easy on the hands wooly stretch. Soft and machine washable, CoBaSi Plus is a wonderful substitute for Simpliworsted, and is a go-to yarn for hard-wearing children’s garments, and all-age sweaters, accessories and blankets.
