The yarn is a sophisticated, multi-component structure: three threads of richly colored, fluffy micro-bouclé Merino wool (available in various shades such as red, coffee, ivory, and grey) are combined with one thread of almost-black Polyamide\/Polyester that incorporates an elegant Lurex element and “Shishibriki” (nubs\/cocoons). This unique construction provides the softest Merino comfort, the fluffy volume of a micro-bouclé, and the chic glamour of Lurex, resulting in a fabric that is incredibly voluminous yet very lightweight. It has all the elegance and flair built right in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"996\"\u003e▣ Product Details at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e• Manufacturer: RiGo, Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1029\"\u003e• Article: COMETA – Luxury Structured Blend\u003cbr data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003e• Fiber Content: 68% Merino Wool, 24% Polyamide, 8% Polyester (Lurex thread \u0026amp; “Shishibriki” nubs)\u003cbr data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003e• Yarn Weight: Sport (Voluminous Texture)\u003cbr data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e• Yarn Count (Nm): 3200 (≈ 320m \/ 100g ≈ 350yd \/ 3.52oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003e• Ply: 4 Threads (3 Merino Bouclé + 1 Lurex\/Polyamide)\u003cbr data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003cbr data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1910\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003e▣ My Knitting Experience with COMETA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eI created two samples using COMETA to explore its structure and texture. The first sample was knitted with US 4 (3.5 mm) needles in a single thread, and after washing, the yarn bloomed beautifully — becoming even fluffier and softer. The fine black core thread gives depth and definition, while the lurex and bouclé merino wrap around it like a delicate halo. The result is a soft, lightweight fabric that’s perfect for elegant sweaters or vests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"2310\"\u003eThe second sample was knitted in two threads using US 10 (6 mm) needles — creating a cozy, voluminous texture ideal for warm jackets or cardigans. You could even hold three strands together for a thicker, plush structure — just use larger needles to preserve the yarn’s airy softness. Despite its textured look, this yarn is not itchy at all, incredibly light, and feels luxurious against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2861\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2371\"\u003e▣ Recommended Needles \u0026amp; Hooks (Based on 3-Ply Knitting)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2374\"\u003eThe multi-ply, micro-bouclé structure gives this yarn a natural volume, making it work up quickly while maintaining lightness. For knitting, to achieve a lightweight, airy fabric, use 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4) needles when knitting three threads (creating a Fingering-weight fabric).\u003cbr data-start=\"2653\" data-end=\"2656\"\u003e• Gauge target: 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch\u003cbr data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2732\"\u003e• Tip: Use the larger end (3.5 mm) for a softer, loftier drape\u003cbr data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"2797\"\u003e• For crochet: use hooks in the range of 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2863\" data-end=\"3348\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2863\" data-end=\"2902\"\u003e▣ Estimated Yarn Usage for Knitwear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2902\" data-end=\"2905\"\u003eThis estimate is based on the yarn's unique voluminous structure and is for garments knit at a relatively open gauge (similar to Sport weight or light DK).\u003cbr data-start=\"3060\" data-end=\"3063\"\u003e• Standard Sweater (Size M): 350–450 g (approx. 1120–1440 m \/ 1225–1575 yd)\u003cbr data-start=\"3138\" data-end=\"3141\"\u003e• Long Cardigan\/Bomber Jacket: 450–600 g (approx. 1440–1920 m \/ 1575–2100 yd)\u003cbr data-start=\"3218\" data-end=\"3221\"\u003e• Large Shawl \/ Wrap: 200–300 g (approx. 640–960 m \/ 700–1050 yd)\u003cbr data-start=\"3286\" data-end=\"3289\"\u003e• Scarf or Cowl: 100–150 g (approx. 320–480 m \/ 350–525 yd)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3350\" data-end=\"3962\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3350\" data-end=\"3379\"\u003e▣ Weaving Recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3379\" data-end=\"3382\"\u003eThe COMETA yarn is an excellent choice for a designer touch in weaving projects, especially for weft. Highly recommended for weft: the bouclé texture, combined with the shimmer of the Lurex\/Shishibriki cocoons, creates an unparalleled texture and visual depth — perfect for scarves, textured pillows, or accent panels in tapestries.\u003cbr data-start=\"3714\" data-end=\"3717\"\u003e• For warp: use with a strong, smooth yarn (like a silk\/wool blend or cotton) to minimize abrasion and breakage during weaving.\u003cbr data-start=\"3844\" data-end=\"3847\"\u003e• Recommended sett (EPI): 8–10 ends per inch for a weft-dominant fabric designed to show off the texture and fluff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3964\" data-end=\"4186\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3964\" data-end=\"3987\"\u003e▣ Care Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3987\" data-end=\"3990\"\u003eHand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent.
