Discover Asia with the FAM 220 Catalogue

FAM 220 Asia is presented within the context of the current summer collection. No composition, yardage or yarn weight has been supplied, however. We have therefore chosen to describe this yarn transparently rather than assign it a fibre, feel or level of performance that is not supported by the available product information.

Choosing FAM 220 Asia with confidence

A yarn’s composition plays a central role in how it feels against the skin, how the finished fabric drapes and how it responds to washing. As the composition of FAM 220 Asia is unknown, it would not be accurate to call it soft, cool, lightweight or hard-wearing. The same caution applies to its twist, its movement across the needles and its stitch definition. These qualities should be assessed before choosing a pattern, especially for a sweater worn close to the neck or an accessory that will remain in direct contact with the skin.

Socks, sweaters, cardigans and accessories place very different demands on a yarn. Socks require a construction suited to regular friction, while a sweater depends more closely on drape, comfort and the stability of the knitted fabric. Since no fibre content or technical specifications have been provided, we cannot responsibly recommend FAM 220 Asia for any one of these projects. This avoids suggesting a use that has not been established by the facts.

Why a swatch matters

Before casting on, knit a swatch using the information printed on the ball band or specified by your chosen pattern. A swatch lets you examine the evenness of the fabric, the appearance of cables, the clarity of textured stitches and the way the knitting settles after resting. It also allows you to adjust the needle size to suit your individual tension without relying on a recommendation that has not been supplied for FAM 220 Asia.

For garments worn near the face, place the swatch gently against your neck as well. Every knitter experiences fibres differently, and this simple test can prevent many hours of work going into a sweater that may not feel comfortable when worn. If you want to assess how the fabric holds its shape, treat the swatch only according to the manufacturer’s care instructions. As no care information has been supplied for FAM 220 Asia, we do not recommend a washing temperature, cycle or drying method.

A summer context distinct from SPIRIT

The information provided links the current collection with summer and also refers to the new yarn SPIRIT. Nothing supplied establishes that FAM 220 Asia shares the composition or properties of SPIRIT. The two names should therefore remain clearly separate. This distinction prevents fibre content, yarn weight or care details associated with one product from being transferred to another without supporting information.
