Product Description
Lana Grossa Silkhair 177 Dark Red
Lana Grossa Silkhair 177 Dark Red is a luxurious and exceptionally light yarn made from 70% superkid mohair and 30% silk. The fine, fluffy yarn is soft to the touch and has a subtle sheen thanks to the silk. The Dark Red color has a bold and warm appearance and gives crochet and knitting projects an elegant, refined look.
Lightweight yarn with a luxurious look
Silkhair is ideal for loose-fitting sweaters, short cardigans, and elegant scarves. The long, soft fibers create a light, ethereal sheen around the knit, while the silk core gives the yarn strength and a beautiful luster. The yarn can be used on its own for a sheer and airy look, but it’s also perfect for combining with another yarn to add extra softness, color, and volume.
Inspiration for Your Project
Simple stitches highlight the soft fibers, while textured patterns add extra depth to the knit. Think, for example, of a loose-fitting sweater, a delicate Cardigan, a lightweight top, or a soft Scarf. Thanks to the generous length of approximately 210 meters per Ball, you can create a light, airy garment with very little weight.
