Which Schachenmayr yarn suits which project

Catania is a cotton yarn in more than 100 colors and is popular for crochet work, amigurumi and summer pieces. Because cotton has almost no stretch, it's less forgiving of uneven tension than wool. Merino Extrafine is a soft virgin wool in different weights for sweaters, hats and scarves, and Regia is a durable sock yarn for everyday wear.

Many yarns are easy care and machine washable, and the ball band tells you what care your yarn can handle. Baby Smiles is designed for soft baby clothes, so check the manufacturer's information on each product.

Tip: If you need several balls for a larger piece, make sure they have the same dye lot number on the ball band. Balls from different dye lots can differ slightly in shade.
