Product Description
Lana Grossa Gomitolo Gala 4040 Chestnut/Mauve/Lilac/Gray-Brown
Lana Grossa Gomitolo Gala 4040 Chestnut/Mauve/Lilac/Gray-Brown is a generously sized color-gradient yarn featuring a vibrant combination of chestnut, mauve, lilac, and gray-brown. The long color transitions naturally create wide stripes and a varied look, without requiring you to constantly switch yarns during your project.
Soft gradient yarn for large projects
Gomitolo Gala is made of 60% wool and 40% acrylic. The wool gives the yarn warmth and a natural look, while the acrylic contributes to its shape retention and practicality. One ball weighs 200 grams and has a generous length of approximately 700 meters. This means you’ll quickly have enough yarn for a scarf, hat, cardigan, or sweater.
Crocheting and Knitting with Gomitolo Gala
Use a recommended needle size of 4.5 to 5 mm. The color gradient looks its best in simple stitches, allowing the colors to take center stage. A sweater in size 38–40 requires approximately 400 grams. Keep in mind that the color gradient may vary from one ball to another. For an even distribution, you may want to alternate between two balls as you work.
