Lana Gatto Silk Mohair 07258 (Lilla Chiaro) is an elegant Italian yarn in a delicate light lilac shade, combining the exceptional softness of fine mohair with the natural refinement of silk. The Lilla Chiaro colour features gentle pastel lilac tones with a cool, slightly greyish undertone, giving handmade knitwear a graceful and understated appearance. Its fine halo of fluffy fibres creates an airy texture that softly diffuses the colour and enhances the beauty of delicate lace patterns and lightweight knitted fabrics.
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 valued for its lightness, softness and characteristic fluffy halo, while silk contributes strength and a subtle natural sheen. Together, these natural fibres create a beautifully lightweight yarn suitable for elegant garments and accessories with a delicate, soft finish.
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 recommended knitting needle size is 3 mm. Larger needles may be used to create a more open, airy texture, depending on the desired gauge and stitch pattern. The light lilac Lilla Chiaro shade pairs beautifully with white, light grey, charcoal and powder pink, offering attractive possibilities for subtle colour combinations and elegant single-colour designs.
Actual yarn consumption depends on garment size, stitch pattern, knitting tension and needle size.
