Lana Gatto Silk Mohair 14468 (Oro/Ottaviano) is an elegant Italian yarn in a warm caramel shade, combining the exceptional softness of fine mohair with the natural refinement of silk. The Oro/Ottaviano colour features a gentle golden-brown tone that brings warmth and sophistication to handmade knitwear. Its delicate halo of fluffy fibres creates an airy surface, allowing the rich caramel colour to complement both simple knitted fabrics and intricate lace patterns.
The yarn contains 70% SuperKid Mohair, an exceptionally fine and soft mohair fibre obtained from young Angora goats, and 30% natural silk. SuperKid Mohair is appreciated for its lightness, softness and distinctive fluffy halo, while silk contributes strength and a subtle natural sheen. Together, these fibres create a lightweight yarn suitable for delicate garments with a beautifully soft texture and an elegant appearance.
With 212 metres of yarn per 25 g ball, Lana Gatto Silk Mohair is well suited to lightweight garments, delicate openwork and semi-transparent knitted fabrics. The manufacturer's recommended knitting needle size is 3 mm. Larger needles may be used for a more open, airy fabric, depending on the desired gauge and stitch pattern. The caramel Oro/Ottaviano shade pairs beautifully with brown, olive, black and natural colours, making it a versatile choice for understated monochrome designs and elegant colour combinations.
Actual yarn consumption depends on garment size, stitch pattern, knitting tension and needle size.
