Lana Gatto Silk Mohair 30484 (Orchidea) is an elegant Italian yarn in a beautiful orchid shade, combining the exceptional softness of fine mohair with the natural refinement of silk. The Orchidea colour features a delicate blend of pink and violet tones with subtle lilac undertones, reminiscent of orchid petals. Its fine halo of fluffy fibres gently softens the colour, creating an airy texture that brings elegance to lightweight garments, intricate lace patterns and delicate knitted accessories.

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, delicate softness and characteristic fluffy halo, while silk contributes strength and a subtle natural sheen. Together, these natural fibres create a lightweight yarn suitable for soft, elegant knitted garments with a beautifully airy finish.

Ideal for:

Orchid-coloured feather-light jumpers, delicate lace tops, elegant cardigans and airy knitted wraps.
Soft shawls, lightweight scarves, stoles and accessories featuring a fine, fluffy texture and a distinctive pink-violet shade.
Knitting with one or several strands, or combining with merino wool, cashmere and other smooth yarns to add softness and a delicate mohair halo.

Knitting characteristics:

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 fabric, depending on the desired gauge and stitch pattern. The orchid Orchidea shade pairs beautifully with white, light grey, charcoal, lilac and powder pink, offering attractive possibilities for subtle colour transitions and elegant contrasting combinations.

Approximate yarn requirements:

Lightweight lace jumper, worked with a single strand (size 46–48): approximately 4 balls.
Delicate shawl or airy wrap: approximately 3–4 balls.
Women's jumper, worked with two strands (size 44–48): approximately 7–8 balls.

Actual yarn consumption depends on garment size, stitch pattern, knitting tension and needle size.
