Knitting yarn by Lang Yarns – Fiesta

Lang Yarns Fiesta: colourful cotton-blend comfort

Fiesta is a lively, easy-wearing knitting yarn designed for bright, modern knitwear with a soft touch. Spun from 88% cotton with 12% polyamide, it combines the breathable feel of cotton with added resilience—ideal when you want your stitches to look crisp while your finished piece keeps its shape through regular wear. Each 50 g ball gives approx. 140 m, making it a practical choice for everything from lightweight garments to accessories that pop with colour.

Fibre, feel & stitch definition

Cotton is naturally cool and skin-friendly, which makes Fiesta a great pick for spring and summer knitting, kids’ layers, and anyone who prefers plant fibres. The small amount of polyamide increases durability and helps reduce sagging, especially in items like tops, socks-style accessories, or everyday cardigans. Expect neat stitch definition for textured patterns, ribbing, and simple lace—perfect when you want “bold colour to every stitch” to show clearly.

Needle size & knitting experience

The recommended needle size for this knitting yarn is 3.5–4 mm. At this range, Fiesta creates a balanced fabric with good drape and a clean surface. The stated tension is 22 stitches x 32 rows over 10x10 cm—always swatch first, especially if you’re between sizes or changing techniques. Use 3.5 mm for a slightly firmer fabric (great for edges and structure) and 4 mm when you want a touch more flow for shawls and relaxed tops.
