Morning Salutation Fino
A word from the designer:
Morning Salutation Fino combines fine Greek cotton with TENCEL TM, a Lyocell fiber, that is produced from sustainable wood, which originates from certified and controlled sources. Morning Salutation has cooling and moisture managing properties and is therefore anti-bacterial and thus also perfectly suitable for babies. The silky shine, the even structure and the intense colors make every pattern stand out brightly. The yarn is kind of heavy, which makes it nicely draped.
Attention: Large garments may become a bit longer after washing.
TENCEL TM is famous for its closed cycle production process where all process water is re-used by 99%. PETA calls TENCEL TM the “environmentally friendly all purpose fiber”.

Our Opinion
I fell in love with Morning Salutation the first time I saw it. It has a silky lustre that you don’t see often in vegan yarns. It slides off the needles and has perfect stitch definition.
The colours are stunning and the feel of the finished product is luxurious. It stays cool even on hot days and the drape is super-flattering.
The Fino variant is exactly the same as the “standard” Morning Salutation yarn, except that it’s thinner, making it suited for knitting socks as well!
Test Project
I haven’t tested this variant. Please see “Morning Salutation” for an indication of what a finished product might look like.
