Cleo: 90% rayon, 10% polyester 1 1/2 oz/ 82 yds suggested gauge: 16 sts = 4" # 8
Cleo is a traditional continuous rayon loop on a polyester core. It has a spongy, bubbly texture when knitted. Like many boucles, it can be difficult to knit Cleo tightly enough for a stable fabric, so we like it best when it is combined with other yarns in pattern stitches like our swatch below. The polyester core does not dye, so light colors are on a white thread and dark colors are on a black thread. Cleo comes in all of our hand dyed colors.
