Tara is a new cotton yarn with the feel of cashmere from GGH. What would Scarlett
O’Hara say to this dream of cotton yarn. Sheer volume in a cotton yarn. A cotton to
be worked with 6 mm needles. While a sweater used to weight 1500 g, with Tara
this drops to 500-600 g. Added to that the optic and cashmere feel. Tara gives the
cotton bounce. With its volume this yarn is perfect for every season. And this is just
the yarn and the designs that can be made up out of it.

• splendidly airy cotton blend creation
• perfect for every season and any projects!
• added to that the optic and cashmere feel.
