Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Soffio 038 petrol

Soffio 038 petrol knitting yarn is a wonderfully light and refined choice for knitters who enjoy soft, comfortable garments with an elegant look. This Lana Grossa knitting yarn combines 60% superfine merino wool, 30% organic cotton and 10% cashmere, creating a gentle yarn that feels pleasant while it moves smoothly over your needles. It is suitable for experienced knitters as well as beginners who would like to make a special project with a fine, high-quality yarn.

Each 25 gram ball contains an impressive 212 metres, so Soffio offers excellent value for detailed, lightweight knitting projects. The petrol colour is a stylish option for modern accessories and garments, whether you use it on its own or combine it with other shades.

Features and benefits

Lana Grossa Soffio has a fine structure that helps your stitches look neat and clear. Simple stockinette stitch looks smooth, while ribbing, lace patterns and textured details can stand out beautifully. The merino wool adds natural softness, organic cotton gives the yarn a fresh and comfortable feel, and cashmere contributes a delicate touch of luxury.

Use needles in size 3.5 to 4 mm for best results. The recommended tension is 29 stitches and 35 rows over 10 x 10 cm, making a tension swatch especially useful before starting a fitted garment. For a women’s size 38–40, you will need approximately seven balls. The finished fabric is light rather than bulky, making it a lovely option for layers you can wear comfortably through different seasons.

Useful knitting tips and care

Always knit a small swatch before beginning your project, particularly when making a sweater or cardigan. This allows you to check whether your stitch count matches the stated tension and helps you choose the needle size that gives you a fabric you like. The petrol shade can be used as a calm main colour, or paired with neutrals and lighter tones for contrast. If you want to combine yarns, test them together first to make sure the thickness and finished feel work well.

For safe care, follow the instructions on the yarn label and treat finished items gently. Avoid harsh washing methods and high heat, as wool and cashmere blends benefit from careful handling. Dry your knitted item flat where appropriate to help it keep its shape.
