Lana Grossa Cool Wool Superbig Vintage

Lana Grossa Cool Wool Superbig Vintage is a classic merino yarn made from 100% virgin extrafine merino wool. The yarn has a soft surface and a substantial texture that creates clear and even stitch definition. The tonal colour shades produce a subtle interplay of colours, giving the finished knit a lively appearance without pronounced colour changes. With a length of approximately 80 metres per 50 g and a recommended needle size of 5.50 mm, the yarn is suitable for warm knitting projects.

Uses
Lana Grossa Cool Wool Superbig Vintage is suitable for knitted jumpers, cardigans, waistcoats, hats, scarves and other warm accessories. The yarn's substantial texture and soft merino fibres make it suitable for both simple knitting patterns and projects featuring textured stitches. The muted colour variations are visible in both stocking stitch and garter stitch, creating a natural interplay of shades in the finished work.

Product benefits

• 100% extrafine merino wool: The yarn is made from pure virgin extrafine merino wool, providing a soft and comfortable surface. The wool fibres also contribute natural warmth and elasticity, making the yarn suitable for garments and accessories.
• Lively tonal colours: The yarn's nuanced shades create a subtle and varied interplay of colours. The colour effect gives the finished knit a lively appearance while maintaining a classic and understated look.
• Substantial texture and clear stitch definition: With a recommended needle size of 5.50 mm and a tension of 16 stitches and 24 rows per 10 x 10 cm, the yarn creates a substantial knitted fabric with clearly defined stitches. It is suitable for both simple designs and textured stitch patterns.

Tips for use
For larger single-colour projects, it is recommended to alternate 2 rows from each of 2 balls of yarn to achieve a more even distribution of the colour shades. This method helps balance any differences between the balls and produces a harmonious colour result. Make a tension swatch using the recommended 5.50 mm needles to check the tension of 16 stitches and 24 rows per 10 x 10 cm. Wash the finished work at a maximum of 30°C and avoid tumble drying.
