Merino Piu rust orange 20

Lana Grossa knitting yarn Merino Piu rust orange 20

Merino Piu is aimed at knitters who want a soft yarn that still provides enough structure for neat, visible stitches. In the colour rust orange, the yarn has a warm rust orange that works especially well with autumn colour palettes. The Merino Piu rust orange 20 knitting yarn is made from 100% superfine merino wool. Each ball weighs 50 grams and contains approximately 100 metres. The recommended needle size is 5 mm, giving a useful balance between visible progress and good control of individual stitches.

Why choose Merino Piu?

Merino wool is valued for its soft wearing comfort, making it a useful choice for garments worn close to the body. This knitting yarn from Lana Grossa produces a neat fabric in which stocking stitch, ribbing, borders and simple textures remain easy to see. The stated gauge is approximately 19 stitches x 27 rows over 10 x 10 cm. For size 38-40, the guideline is 10 to 12 balls. Treat this as a starting point because pattern shape, garment size, stitch pattern and personal tension can all change the actual amount required.

Because Merino Piu is made entirely from merino wool, it is particularly suitable for projects where softness, comfort and a polished finish are important. It is also approachable for beginners: 5 mm needles allow the work to grow at a satisfying pace while individual stitches remain easy to recognise. More experienced knitters can use the same structure for cables, textured patterns or combinations of simple stitch techniques.

Ideas for your next knit

This Lana Grossa Merino Piu knitting yarn can be used for many projects, including:

• a raglan sweater
• an open cardigan
• a ribbed scarf
• a hat
• a neck warmer
• a soft home accessory

The shade rust orange can be used on its own or combined with other colours. Depending on the effect you want, it can form part of a tonal palette, a neutral combination or a stronger contrast. Place several balls next to each other in natural daylight before making a final decision, as subtle differences are much easier to judge that way.

Gauge and care

Always make a gauge swatch before starting a garment. Compare your tension with the guideline of approximately 19 stitches and 27 rows over 10 x 10 cm. If your fabric is too firm, try a slightly larger needle; if it is too loose, a smaller needle may help. Treat the swatch in the same way as the finished project before taking the final measurement so that your result is more realistic.

For care, follow the instructions on the yarn label and in the pattern you are using. Merino wool benefits from gentle handling, so avoid harsh wringing and help the finished piece keep its intended shape while drying. For a project requiring several balls, it is sensible to plan the complete quantity before you start so that your knitting can continue without unnecessary interruptions.
