Product Description
Lana Grossa Silkhair 181 Rust
Lana Grossa Silkhair 181 Rust 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 Rust color has a warm, distinctive look and gives crocheting and knitting projects an elegant, refined appearance.
Lightweight yarn with a luxurious look
Silkhair is ideal for finely knitted tops, softly draping sweaters, and generous shawls. The long, soft fibers create a light 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 result, but it’s also perfect for combining with another yarn to add extra softness, color, and volume.
Inspiration for Your Project
Use a single strand for a sheer look, or combine multiple strands for extra volume. 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.
