Meilenweit Uni 100 light grey 1358

Lana Grossa knitting yarn Meilenweit Uni 100 light grey 1358

In this colour, Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 remains first and foremost a classic sock yarn, while offering plenty of possibilities beyond socks. The Meilenweit Uni 100 light grey 1358 knitting yarn is made from 80% virgin wool and 20% polyamide. This blend combines the natural comfort of wool with the added durability needed for socks that are worn and washed regularly. Each 100 g ball provides approximately 420 m of yarn. Lana Grossa recommends 2.5 to 3 mm needles, with a stated gauge of around 28 stitches and 40 rows per 10 x 10 cm.

Classic sock yarn with more possibilities

Meilenweit 100 is first and foremost sock yarn. Socks need a fine, comfortable fibre blend that can also cope with friction and frequent wear. The polyamide content helps support durability and shape retention. However, this knitting yarn from Lana Grossa does not have to be reserved for socks. Its fine gauge and generous yardage also make it useful for light accessories, children’s knitting and finer garments.

The solid shade light grey gives you plenty of freedom. In multicolour knitting, this shade can work as the main colour, an accent or a linking tone between brighter colours. Cables, ribs and other textured stitches are especially easy to appreciate in a solid colour because the stitch structure remains clear.

What can you knit with Meilenweit 100?

Besides socks, this Lana Grossa quality can be used for several other projects, including:

• socks with contrasting heels and toes
• light cowls
• beanies
• fingerless gloves
• light wraps
• small accessories

For one pair of adult socks, around 100 g is often a useful guide, depending on size, leg length, stitch pattern and personal gauge. For other projects, calculate the amount from the pattern and finished size. If you still use a suitable knitting machine, Meilenweit 100 can also be used for that purpose; for most customers, hand knitting remains the main application.

Gauge, care and colour combinations

For garments and larger projects, always knit a swatch first. The reference gauge of 28 stitches and 40 rows over 10 x 10 cm helps you compare your own tension with the pattern. For socks, a neat fabric that is firm enough for durability but still elastic is important for comfort and fit. Adjust the needle size if you knit more loosely or tightly. Lana Grossa describes Meilenweit 100 as machine washable; always follow the current care instructions on the ball band for washing, drying and general maintenance.

If you plan to combine several colours, it is sensible to have enough yarn for the whole project before you start. This allows you to check how light grey works with the other shades. Solid Meilenweit colours are particularly useful for stripes, colour blocks, stranded motifs and contrasting details.
