Need help with European(?) yarn care symbol

[magiccrochetfan]

I have some Regia yarn and there is one symbol on the care label that I do not understand. You can see it here http://www.coatsgmbh.de/Produkte/Stricken/Regia/Regia+4fädig/Regia+4fädig+Uni.htm It is the 6th symbol, the one that looks like a dome with a fence around it. I am guessing it is a symbol used in Europe but not in the US as I can't find a reference to it anywhere.

 

I do understand the rest of the symbols, and the label also says "machine washable, non-felting, very hard wearing, retains its shape". the yarn is 25% polyamide and 75% new wool, and was made in Italy.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me:crocheting:crocheting

I am sorry...that URL does not work...I think the two dots over the "a" messed up the URL, but if you go to this page, http://www.coatsgmbh.de/Produkte/Stricken/Regia/regia.htm and then click on Regia 4fadig, and then on one of the pictures of the yarn, you can get to the page.

 

I tried to edit my first post but I couldn't do that either:think Sorry to be so much trouble!

That's a new one on me too; never seen it before. Maybe it's the sun rising and it means it's colourfast ?

This isn't exactly the same, but maybe it's the symbol for "suitable for handknitting machines'"?

It's the closest I could find!

But I think jenhen figured it out...The "DOME" might be the handle on a knitting machine.....look at it again, it makes sense!

 

I just left clicked the icon, and clicked on properties...it says it is suitable for machine knitting!

Well... I'm European (though not German) and I have no clue either.

It means suitable for knitting machines.....Strickmaschinen geeignet.

I agree it's for knitting machines. If you right click on the picture, then properties, the name of the pic file is 'knitting machine'

 

DUH! Didn't read all theposts, and this was already mentioned....LOL Sorry!
