Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Cool Wool Vintage fire red 7398

Cool Wool Vintage fire red 7398 knitting yarn is a fine, smooth yarn made for comfortable everyday knitting. Its rich fire red shade brings warmth and energy to simple stitches as well as more detailed patterns. Made from 100% merino wool extrafine, this yarn feels soft in the hands while you work and gives finished pieces a pleasant, comfortable feel. It is a lovely choice for beginners who want a reliable yarn, as well as experienced knitters looking for neat results and wearable projects.

This Lana Grossa knitting yarn comes in 50 gram balls with a generous length of 160 metres per ball. It is designed for knitting needles in size 3 to 3.5 mm, making it suitable for lightweight garments and accessories that do not feel overly bulky. With its good balance of softness, yardage, and quality, it offers great value for money for projects you will enjoy making and wearing.

Features and benefits

The fine merino fibres help your stitches look clear and even. You will notice this especially in ribbing, cables, textured patterns, lace details, and simple stocking stitch. Cool Wool Vintage fire red 7398 has a soft drape, so it can create garments that sit comfortably rather than feeling stiff.

For an accurate result, the suggested tension is 24 stitches and 34 rows over 10 x 10 cm. Making a small test square before starting is worthwhile, particularly for sweaters or cardigans. It helps you check whether your knitting matches the pattern size and lets you see how the fire red colour looks in your chosen stitch.

Project ideas for this fine merino yarn

• A lightweight sweater for everyday wear
• A neat ribbed hat or beanie
• A soft scarf with cables or textured stitches
• A classic cardigan with buttons
• A delicate shawl or wrap
• Comfortable baby knitting projects with simple details

For an adult size 38–40 garment, you will need approximately 8 balls. This makes it easy to plan a complete sweater project before you begin. The clear stitch definition also makes this yarn a good partner for patterns where you want every detail to stand out.

Tips for knitting and care

Choose needles within the recommended 3 to 3.5 mm range and always check your pattern before starting. If you are choosing between colours or combining yarns, place the balls next to each other in natural light first. Fire red can work beautifully as a statement colour, a contrast trim, or part of a striped design. When combining yarns, test their thickness and texture in a small swatch so the finished fabric remains balanced.

To help keep your merino project looking its best, follow the care instructions on the yarn label and your chosen pattern. Gentle handling, careful washing, and drying the item flat are sensible general steps for knitted wool pieces. This will help preserve the shape, softness, and stitch detail of your finished work.
