Charming in a beautifully rustic way, this cotton–silk blend yarn is softly twisted and wonderfully pleasant to work with. It is spun from Egyptian long-staple cotton and dyed natural silk. The subtle texture of silk and the tiny specks of color within the silk fibers bring gentle vibrancy and delicate character to the yarn.

The yarn’s beautiful, soft pastel color palette invites you to pick up both knitting needles and a crochet hook. One ball weighs 50 grams and contains approximately 125 meters of yarn. Even a small quantity is enough to create stunning and sophisticated knitwear.

This yarn is ideal for sleeveless summer tops and dresses, sweaters, lightweight cardigans, or an adorable blouse or sweet dress for a child. It is perfectly suited for lace patterns as well as a variety of textured stitches.

Lane Mondial S.p.A. is a family-owned company founded in 1946. The yarn is manufactured in the heart of Lombardy, in Brescia, Northern Italy.
