Schachenmayr Bravo Softy wool is a carded ball of combed polyamide wool that you can use to knit or crochet all kinds of work: garments, home accessories, stuffed animals, amigurumis ... A polyamide is a type of polymer that contains amide-type linkages. Polyamides can be found in nature, like wool or silk, and can also be synthetic, like nylon or Kevlar. Its strand is composed of 8 twisted strands, and is of medium DK type thickness. It has been combed in a way that creates a fuzzy effect on the entire ball. It presents the same characteristics in terms of tension as the Bravo quality of the same brand, composed of acrylic, so you can easily combine them to create your winter clothes.

The composition of Lanas Schachenmayr Bravo Softy is:

100% polyamide. A polyamide is a type of polymer that contains amide-type linkages. Polyamides can be found in nature, like wool or silk, and can also be synthetic, like nylon or Kevlar. The first polyamides were synthesized by the chemical company DuPont Corporation, by the team led by chemist Wallace Hume Carothers, who began working at the firm in 1928. Polyamides such as nylon began to be used as synthetic fibers, although they have ended up being used in the manufacture of any plastic material. Aramides are a type of polyamides in which there are aromatic groups forming part of its structure. For example, fibers that are highly resistant to traction such as Kevlar, or fibers that are also highly resistant to fire, such as Nomex, are obtained, both marketed by DuPont. Synthetic fiber is a textile fiber that comes from various petroleum-derived products. Artificial fibers are not synthetic, as they come from natural materials, basically cellulose. Sometimes the term "chemical fibers" is used to refer to man-made fibers and synthetic fibers together, as opposed to natural fibers. Thus, synthetic fibers are entirely chemical: both the synthesis of the raw material and the manufacture of the thread or filament are the product of the human being. With the appearance and development of synthetic fibers, the textile industry has achieved yarns that satisfy the demand posed by new weaving techniques and consumers.
