Soffio 044 Indian red

Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Soffio 044 Indian red

Soffio 044 Indian red is a beautifully light, refined knitting yarn with a warm, rich red shade that gives handmade pieces a confident and elegant look. This Lana Grossa knitting yarn is pleasant to hold and enjoyable to work with, whether you are making your first garment or have years of knitting experience. Its fine construction makes it especially suitable for detailed stitches, lightweight layers, and projects you want to wear close to the skin.

Made from 60% superfine merino wool, 30% organic cotton, and 10% cashmere, Soffio combines natural softness with a comfortable, breathable feel. Merino wool adds gentle warmth, organic cotton gives the yarn a fresh and light character, and cashmere brings an extra-soft touch. The result is a yarn that feels luxurious without being heavy, offering great value for makers who want a quality fibre blend for special everyday projects.

Features and benefits

Soffio 044 Indian red knitting yarn is designed for needles sized 3.5 to 4 mm. With its generous length of 212 metres per 25 gram ball, it is an excellent choice for fine knitting where a little yarn goes a long way. The recommended tension is 29 stitches and 35 rows over 10 x 10 cm, helping you create neat, even fabric with clear stitch definition.

In a finished item, you can expect a soft surface, gentle drape, and lightweight warmth. Simple stockinette stitch looks smooth and polished, while ribbing, lace, cables, and textured patterns can stand out clearly. The Indian red colour is ideal for adding warmth to a neutral wardrobe, and it can also become a striking main shade for a timeless handmade piece.

Helpful knitting and care tips

Before beginning a larger project, make a small tension swatch using your chosen needles. This simple step helps you check whether your stitches match the stated gauge and can prevent sizing surprises later. For colour planning, view Indian red in natural daylight and pair it with calm neutrals, soft cream, grey, navy, or other shades that suit your personal style. It can also be combined with another fine yarn for contrast details, provided you test the fabric first to ensure the thickness and tension work well together.

For safe general care, treat this natural-fibre blend gently. Follow the care instructions on the yarn label, avoid harsh washing methods, and dry knitted items flat where appropriate to help them keep their shape. Careful finishing and gentle handling will help your handmade work stay comfortable and beautiful for longer.
