Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Merino extrafine Shades
Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Merino extrafine Shades – Premium Gradient Sock Yarn
Combine everyday durability with pure luxury: Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Merino extrafine Shades blends extrafine merino wool with harmonious color gradients to create stylish socks and elegant accessories. This machine-washable sock yarn impresses with its luxurious softness, high resilience, and exceptional natural skin comfort.
What Makes the Shades Series Unique?
The extrafine merino fibers feel extraordinarily soft against the skin, delivering excellent breathability and natural temperature regulation. Spun as a classic 4-ply yarn, it adds visual depth and structure to every stitch. The hallmark of the Shades series is its soft, seamless color transitions that flow effortlessly as you knit. These smooth gradient effects appear automatically straight from the ball – creating a sophisticated look with no need to change yarns or weave in endless ends. The added high-grade polyamide guarantees long-lasting shape retention and durability.
