Product Description: Nako Hercai – Premium Turkish Wool

“Turkey Ki Behtareen Quality: Nako Hercai (Turkey’s Finest Quality)”

Introduce a touch of luxury to your winter wardrobe with Nako Hercai, a premium hand-knitting yarn imported directly from Turkey. Famous in the Pakistani textile market for its superior quality, Nako delivers a product that perfectly balances warmth, durability, and style. Hercai is not just ordinary wool; it is “Premium Acrylic,” engineered to feel as soft as velvet (“Malai jaisa narm”) while being strong enough to last for years.

Designed for those who value speed and comfort, this yarn is slightly thicker (“Moti Oon”) than standard varieties, allowing you to finish full sweaters and blankets much faster. Its unique “Mix” colorways allow you to create designer-style shaded garments without changing threads.

1. Technical Specifications (Product Details)

• Brand: Nako (Made in Turkey)

• Model: Hercai

• Material: 100% Premium Acrylic (Anti-allergic & Skin-friendly)

• Weight Per Ball: 100 Grams

• Length Per Ball: 156 Meters (approx. 170 Yards)

• Thickness / Ply: Heavy Worsted to Chunky weight. In local terms, this is comparable to 10-Ply to 12-Ply. It is thicker than standard 4-ply or DK wool.

• Needle Size (Salai): 6.00 mm – 7.00 mm (Moti salai recommended for best loft)

• Crochet Hook (Qureshia): 5.00 mm – 6.00 mm

2. Quality & Texture Analysis

• Softness (Malai Feel): Unlike cheap acrylics that feel plastic-like or “squeaky,” Nako Hercai has a semi-matte, velvety finish. It does not itch (“chubhan nahi hoti”), making it excellent for babies, children, and people with sensitive skin.

• Warmth: Because of its high-bulk spinning technology, the fiber traps more air, keeping you warmer in the chilly December/January winters of Pakistan compared to thinner, local wools.

• Durability & Life: This yarn is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning it is free from harmful chemicals. It is resistant to fading and shrinking. With proper care, a sweater made from Hercai can easily last 5 to 7 years while maintaining its shape and vibrant color.

• Visual Appeal: The yarn features “Self-Striping” or “Batik” style colors. As you knit, the colors shift automatically (e.g., from blue to grey to white), creating a beautiful pattern without you needing to join different colored balls.

• Best Uses: Ideal for heavy winter cardigans, oversized sweaters, warm blankets, ponchos, and caps.

5. Care Instructions (Dhulai ka Tareeqa)

To ensure your Nako Hercai garments last for years:

• Machine Washable: Yes, at 30°C (Use “Delicate” cycle).

• Detergent: Use mild detergent (like Ezee or Genteel). Do not use bleach.

• Drying: Dry flat in the shade (“Chaon mein sukhayen”). Do not hang wet sweaters on a wire, as they will stretch.

• Ironing: Do not use a hot iron directly on the wool. Use steam only if necessary.

Summary for Buyer: If you want a high-quality, Turkish wool that is soft on the skin, knits up fast, and gives a branded look to your handmade clothes, Nako Hercai is the best choice in the market today. Requires approx. 1.25 lbs (6 balls) for a standard ladies’ sweater.
