Candy 7

Lana Grossa knitting yarn Candy 7

With Candy by Lana Grossa, colour develops without constant yarn changes. The yarn combines a soft merino base with irregular multicoloured stripes. Candy 7 knitting yarn is made from 80% merino wool and 20% polyamide. Each ball weighs 100 g and provides approximately 300 m, with 5 to 6 mm knitting needles recommended. The combination of soft merino, airy volume and built-in multicolour effects makes it suitable for comfortable projects where colour is an important part of the design.

Multicolour knitting without separate yarn changes

The different shades appear irregularly through the fabric, making Candy especially suitable for simple shapes where the yarn provides the visual interest. The merino fibres provide a pleasant feel, while the polyamide supports the yarn structure. Despite its volume, the finished fabric can remain relatively light. Beginners can use simple stitches and still achieve a visually rich result. More experienced knitters can add restrained texture without competing too strongly with the colour changes.

Project ideas with Candy 7

This Lana Grossa quality can be used for many projects, including:

• a casual sweater
• a long jacket
• a cowl
• a hat
• a shawl
• a generous accessory

For size 38-40, approximately 300 to 350 g is a useful guideline, usually 3 to 4 balls depending on the pattern, garment length and personal gauge. Official designs include long cardigans, showing that Candy is intended for garments as well as accessories. Relaxed, uncomplicated shapes work especially well because the yarn already provides plenty of movement through colour.

Gauge, handling and care

For garments, knit a swatch first. A reference gauge of around 12 stitches and 20 rows per 10 x 10 cm is commonly given. Adjust your needle size if your personal tension differs. Because the colour sequence is deliberately irregular, the exact placement of individual shades cannot be planned completely in advance. Two sleeves or front panels may therefore develop different colour rhythms.

Always follow the current care instructions on the ball band. Use a detergent suitable for wool and handle the finished knit gently. For a larger project, it is sensible to have the full required quantity before you start.
