HiKoo

HiKoo is Skacel's house brand, and Simplicity is the line it is known for: a merino-acrylic-nylon DK that is machine washable, dryable, soft enough for a baby and priced for a blanket, in a colour card that runs past forty shades. Simpliworsted is the same blend at worsted weight — the everyday sweater and hat yarn.

Above it sit the natural-fibre lines: Sueño and Sueño Worsted, a superwash merino with bamboo viscose for drape and sheen; Concentric, a 200 g cake of baby alpaca that fades through four colours; Rylie, alpaca, silk and linen for summer shawls; and CoBaSi, the wool-free sock yarn. We keep dye lots together on every HiKoo order.
