COSMA is a vegan, eight-ply twisted yarn made of 60% organic Pima cotton and 40% modal. With a meterage of 100 m on 50 g it has a classic DK weight. For Cosma we use exclusively Peruvian Pima cotton in the extremely rare organic quality.

Also referred to as silk of South America, this premium cotton type with a fiber length of up to 40mm is one of the highest quality cotton types worldwide. The extra-long cotton fibers give the Pima yarn its outstanding softness and make it very durable and long-lasting. Peruvian Pima cotton grows under the ideal climatic conditions and is still harvested very gently by hand, thereby the fiber remains as undamaged as possible and the cotton receives its characteristic, bright white.

The modal, a modern, synthetically obtained natural fiber made of 100% natural beech wood cellulose, is sourced from Austria in sustainably certified quality. The result is a yarn with a delicate sheen and an exceptionally soft feel, which we have spun and dyed by our fair-trade certified production partner in Peru.

The mix of pima cotton and modal makes the yarn particularly breathable and allows high moisture absorption with rapid drying. Therefore, COSMA is ideal for light summer knits. Airy tops, sweaters and jackets that are very comfortable to wear directly on the skin and have a great fall, lace and textured patterns are very beautifully expressed. Easy to care for and machine washable, COSMA is also an excellent choice for baby and children’s knits and is also very suitable for crocheting.

LAMANA color world: Due to the carefully coordinated colors, our qualities can be combined very harmoniously with each other, but also offer the possibilities of light nuances and strong contrasts.

Care: COSMA can be washed in the wool cycle in the washing machine at 30°. We recommend the use of a neutral, mild wool detergent without enzymes and plasticizers, in very low doses. Then dry the knitted piece gently lying flat and avoid direct sunlight.
