German term or phrase: Kochwolle
Im Strick finden sich Elemente aus Kochwolle im Kontrast zu glatter Oberfläche wieder. Multicolor getwistete Garnmischungen, funkelnde Applikationen und Jacquards mit
blitzenden Elementen treffen aufeinander.

Feiner Loop, weiche Kochwolle und flauschiger Bouclé in bester Wollqualität runden das Bild ab.
