Schachenmayr BRAVO Uni – 100% acrylic yarn, 50 g ball, 133 m

Schachenmayr BRAVO Uni – easy-care acrylic yarn for knitting and crochet

BRAVO Uni from Schachenmayr is a plain-coloured all-round yarn made from 100% acrylic, for knitting and crochet. According to Schachenmayr, it is one of the most popular yarns in the collection. It is machine washable and therefore easy to care for. The yarn suits quick, budget-friendly projects.

One ball weighs 50 g and has a length of 133 m. That works out at 266 m per 100 g, so you can plan the quantity for your project using the metre figure in your pattern. Choose your colour from the options.

What to use BRAVO Uni for

Plain yarn shows off textures such as cables, rib or lace patterns clearly, so BRAVO Uni works well for jumpers, scarves and blankets where the pattern takes centre stage. In crochet, according to Schachenmayr, it is also suitable for amigurumi. With needle size 3–4 mm you work at a medium thickness, giving a fabric that is neither very dense nor very loose. As the yarn is machine washable, it is also an option for everyday items that need washing more often.

Tension and quantities

The ball band gives 22 stitches and 30 rows over 10 × 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. If you are making larger items, it is best to allow a little extra and buy all the balls at once, so that the colour stays consistent throughout.
