Catania Grande is twice as thick as classic Catania and can be knit up twice as fast, for twice the knitting pleasure. The combed and mercerized 100% cotton yarn can be worn year-round but is particularly suitable for quick summer knits and home accessories. The beautiful high-sheen cotton is offered in a range of brilliant colors which retain their richness and sheen even after repeated wearing and washing. Important note: in order to prevent bleeding of color, please ensure that you wash your Catania Grande garment at 60°C for the first time. After this, it should be washed according to the 40°C recommendation.
