Lana Grossa Chapeau 014 Burgundy

Lana Grossa Chapeau 014 Burgundy is a soft, voluminous tube yarn with a light, airy stuffing of merino and alpaca fibers. The yarn feels wonderfully soft, has a beautiful, full stitch pattern, and is ideal for comfortable fall and winter projects. The combination of baby alpaca, fine Merino Wool, and recycled Polyamide gives your project warmth, volume, and shape retention.

Chapeau is what’s known as a “Soffio” yarn: a tubular thread that feels light but still provides plenty of volume. This allows you to make quick, visible progress using relatively thick needles. The yarn is great for crocheting and knitting and really shines in textured garments, such as ribbing, cables, raglan sleeves, and openwork details.

Soft, voluminous yarn with a luxurious look

The color Burgundy gives your project a warm, elegant look and pairs well with classic fall and winter styles.

The yarn has a length of approximately 110 meters per 50 grams and is worked with Needle Size 7–8. This thick yarn quickly gives simple stitches a beautiful, soft texture. Patterns featuring cables, seed stitch, or a subtle openwork effect also stand out more clearly.

Inspiration for Designs with Chapeau

Lana Grossa Chapeau is designed for stylish, voluminous garments. Think of a loose-fitting open cardigan with a V-neck and balloon sleeves, a raglan sweater with trumpet sleeves, a short cardigan with an all-over cable pattern, or a short sweater with XL cables and pearl stitch. These types of designs really showcase how beautifully Chapeau highlights textured stitches and soft shapes.
