Description
Introducing MOHAIR ROYAL — a refined, luxurious Italian mohair yarn by Lana Gatto, crafted for knitters who appreciate lightness, softness, and effortless elegance. Produced entirely in Tollegno, Italy, this yarn is cultivated, spun, dyed, and packaged in one of the most respected textile regions in the world.
MOHAIR ROYAL combines the airy halo of Kid Mohair with the softness of Extrafine Merino, reinforced by a small percentage of nylon for stability and durability. The result is a beautifully balanced yarn that feels delicate yet reliable, creating garments with an ethereal texture and refined structure.
Lightweight and fast to knit, this yarn is ideal for both hand knitting and modern designs that call for softness, drape, and visual depth. Whether used on its own or held together with another yarn, MOHAIR ROYAL transforms simple stitches into elegant, elevated fabric.
