It's not too thick and not too thin, the wool makes it super fluffy and light, the cotton is soft and cooling. Bio Balance is discreetly matt and has the most beautiful natural colors - simply perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e The cotton in Bio Balance is particularly soft, which makes the yarn particularly cuddly. The wool comes from mulesing-free farms in South America. The yarn is GOTS certified and produced particularly gently, sustainably and of course organic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e What is special about Bio Balance GOTS?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDo you like to wear your knitwear around the house or in the office and don't want it to be too warm? Then Bio Balance is just the thing. It falls beautifully, is soft and yet is not too warm, very airy and light. It is also nice and thin, so Bio Balance creates super fine knitwear that will last you a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Of course, Bio Balance is of the highest quality and is also sustainable, of impeccable origin and GOTS certified, leaving nothing to be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e The color palette is huge and super harmonious. The colors are perfectly coordinated. The different shades of wool and cotton create a light melange effect that particularly enhances the color depth. Bio Balance is also a beautifully matte yarn for everyday, delicate and understated pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI particularly like the versatility. You can use it to knit sweaters, cardigans and tops as well as shawls and scarves. Bio Balance is even particularly suitable for baby clothes; it is very pleasant, even directly on the skin, and particularly gentle. Simply a dream yarn!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e It is wonderfully easy to work with, it knits up easily and is not too smooth, nothing slips, everything stays in its place.

It has a sophisticated composition, it doesn't need any other yarns and stands on its own. The idea is also to reduce it to one good yarn. Best wearing properties for warmer temperatures, light clothing that feels great and looks great!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e What is the composition of Bio Balance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBio Balance GOTS by BC Garn is made of 55% new wool and 45% cotton and is therefore great for wearing under a jacket or indoors in spring and summer as well as in winter and autumn. A real all-rounder! The composition is super natural, with no artificial additives, a real organic yarn. GOTS certified leaves nothing to be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e The new wool comes from mulesing-free farms in South America, the cotton is particularly soft and light, ensuring the best wearing comfort even directly on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Bio Balance combines these best properties:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e soft and beautiful even directly on the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e temperature-balancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e breathable and airy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e perfect for garments worn at room temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e also suitable for baby skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e sustainable and organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e How does Bio Balance by BC Garn feel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBio Balance is simply super popular, of course because of its great properties and also because of the great colors, but mainly because it just feels good! You will love it. The handle is super light and airy and at the same time beautifully soft without flowing too much. It simply combines the best properties and is not as heavy as cotton yarns or as thick as wool. Bio Balance is a clever mix of both worlds, it keeps you warm - but not too warm, it is light and cooling - but not too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Bio Balance is simply one of my favorite yarns, let yourself be inspired by it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e stitch pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBio Balance has a slight colour melange effect due to its composition of wool and cotton. This is very subtle but it creates a beautiful depth of colour and moves the stitch pattern. The yarn should not be knitted too tightly so that it can fully develop its positive properties such as fun and softness. This creates a beautiful knitted pattern, even with the hand-knitted touch that we all want!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e Facts \u0026amp; Figures at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Bio Balance by BC Garn is available in skeins of 50g each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e The remaining data are summarized as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYarn thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e : 50g per strand approx. 225 m running length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e : 55% wool 45% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended needle size\u003c\/strong\u003e : 3 mm to 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e : 25 stitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e color chart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBC yarn is known for its sophisticated and super harmonious and very extensive color palette of around 30 colors. Bio Balance has super harmonious colors and they really all match each other, so you can combine them perfectly. One special thing about Bio Balance's colors is their matte finish. The yarn is matte and soft, so the colors are super natural. The colors also have a beautifully subtle melange effect, as the color is absorbed differently by wool and cotton. This effect is really super light and restrained, but creates a great depth of color and gives smooth knitted pieces an interesting stitch pattern and structured pattern pieces a beautiful depth. Simply enchanting!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e What can you knit from it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe have many knitted items in our Models and Sets category with Bio Balance from BC Garn. You can use it as an all-round yarn for thin sweaters and cardigans, but of course you can also knit shawls and scarves. Bio Balance is even great for baby clothes. I like to knit shirts with it the most because it feels great directly on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e How is the yarn washed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e We have had good experiences with Bio Balance in terms of machine washability. The yarn is washable at 30°C, but only if your machine also has a wool program. And of course you must use a wool detergent and under no circumstances should you use fabric softener, that's very important!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOtherwise, we would recommend hand washing, which is gentler and doesn't require as much work. You simply create a water bath in the sink with a wool detergent and put the knitted item in there. Then rinse it. It is particularly good to spin the knitted item in the machine, because you often cause unwanted damage when wringing it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Even when hand washing, a maximum temperature of 30°C should not be exceeded and a good wool detergent is also mandatory here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Of course, the embroidery piece must not be put in the dryer. We always recommend drying it lying down, not in direct sunlight, but better indoors or in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e If you follow these simple rules, the yarn will last a long time without any problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e How is Bio Balance different from Big Bio Balance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs the name suggests, Big Bio Balance is simply big, i.e. thicker. Bio Balance is about half as thick as its big sister and has a running length of 225m for 50g, while the running length of Big Bio Balance is 280m in a 100g skein. This is very practical, so you don't have to go without your favorite Bio Balance composition in winter. And of course you can also use Big Bio Balance for spring clothes if you want something a little thicker and perhaps knit up quicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e What needle size do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e You shouldn't knit Bio Balance too tightly. The needle size is very individual, depending on your own knitting strength. We recommend choosing a needle size of around 3 mm to 4 mm. It's best to knit a gauge sample to find the perfect thickness for you! The most beautiful pieces are supple ones, because the yarn is so light, it doesn't sag and stays in shape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BC Garn","offers":[{"title":"nature 01","offer_id":42821123768559,"sku":"4260702810307","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"linen beige 31","offer_id":57299104760073,"sku":"4260765916466","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"sand 18","offer_id":42821235638511,"sku":"4260702810130","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"taupe 10","offer_id":42821238456559,"sku":"4260702810215","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"brown 36","offer_id":57299112689929,"sku":"4260765916510","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"lime 04","offer_id":42821181571311,"sku":"4260702810277","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"grass 03","offer_id":42821211324655,"sku":"4260702810284","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"blue spruce 05","offer_id":57299113410825,"sku":"4260702810260","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"rust 07","offer_id":42821169938671,"sku":"4260702810246","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"orange 17","offer_id":42821175771375,"sku":"4260702810147","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"orange red 33","offer_id":57299113869577,"sku":"4260765916480","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"curry 16","offer_id":42821178753263,"sku":"4260702810154","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"yellow 32","offer_id":57299114885385,"sku":"4260765916473","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"red 08","offer_id":42821166858479,"sku":"4260702810239","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"pale red 21","offer_id":42821173313775,"sku":"4260702810109","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"dusty rose 34","offer_id":57299117375753,"sku":"4260765916497","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"fuchsia 09","offer_id":42821163286767,"sku":"4260702810222","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"lilac 22","offer_id":42821232951535,"sku":"4260702810093","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"purple 23","offer_id":42821231804655,"sku":"4260702810086","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"berry 24","offer_id":42821231214831,"sku":"4260702810079","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"midnight blue 35","offer_id":57299117768969,"sku":"4260765916503","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"navy 15","offer_id":42821226823919,"sku":"4260702810161","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"marine 27","offer_id":42821224923375,"sku":"4260702810048","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"jeans 13","offer_id":42821222301935,"sku":"4260702810185","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"azure 12","offer_id":42821212569839,"sku":"4260702810192","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"ocean 25","offer_id":42821219549423,"sku":"4260702810062","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"silver 11","offer_id":42821240160495,"sku":"4260702810208","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"light grey 28","offer_id":42821240652015,"sku":"4260702810031","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"anthracite 29","offer_id":42821241274607,"sku":"4260702810024","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"graphite 14","offer_id":42821226103023,"sku":"4260702810178","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"black 30","offer_id":42821241667823,"sku":"4260702810017","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/9961\/8710\/products\/BC_Garn_Bio_Balance_01.jpg?v=1652370402","url":"https:\/\/www.gute-garne.de\/en\/products\/bio-balance-gots","provider":"gute-garne.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
