Lana Gatto Silk Mohair 09374 (Lilla) is an elegant Italian yarn in a soft lilac shade, combining the exceptional lightness of fine mohair with the natural refinement of silk. The Lilla colour features muted lilac tones with a subtle grey undertone, bringing a sophisticated and understated character to handmade knitwear. Its delicate halo of fluffy fibres creates an airy texture that gives knitted fabrics a beautifully soft appearance while adding depth to the lilac colour.
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 softness, lightness and characteristic fluffy halo, while silk contributes strength and a subtle natural sheen. Together, these fibres create a delicate yarn suitable for lightweight garments with an elegant, airy 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 lilac Lilla shade pairs beautifully with white, light grey, charcoal, pink and deep violet, offering attractive possibilities for delicate colour transitions and elegant contrasting combinations.
Actual yarn consumption depends on garment size, stitch pattern, knitting tension and needle size.
