Igloo-Artide-BonBon: natural yarns for those with delicate skin

In the knitting and handmade world, choosing the right yarn is crucial, especially for those with delicate or irritation-prone skin.
Natural yarns are the ideal solution for ensuring comfort, softness and unparalleled pleasantness.

Today we want to talk about a special selection of yarns designed just for those seeking quality and gentleness on the skin: Igloo, Artide and BonBon by Manifattura Sesia, an excellence in the industry.

Natural yarns and comfort for the skin

When it comes to yarns, especially when intended for garments worn directly on the skin, the choice of materials is crucial. “Natural yarns” such as alpaca wool, extra-fine merino wool and cashmere are among the most popular because of their ability to respect sensitive skin and not cause itching or irritation.
This is especially important not only for those who suffer from dermatitis or for children, who have more delicate skin, but also for all colors that get irritated in cold temperatures or simply like to have a warm, soft feeling on the skin.

Alpaca wool and its characteristics

Among natural yarns, alpaca wool stands out for its exceptional properties.
It comes from a natural fiber that is very warm, but at the same time light and soft. It does not itch because it is free of lanolin, a substance found in traditional wool that often causes discomfort, and sometimes even real allergies because she is the “allergenic” molecule incriminated 😉
Alpaca wool, on the other hand, does not contain it and we can call it hypoallergenic, and together with cashere it is a guarantee for those with allergies or intolerances.

It is a wonderful yarn, ideal for winter garments for sensitive people, a perfect combination of warmth and gentleness.
