Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Cool Wool Vintage Red-violet 7396

Cool Wool Vintage Red-violet 7396 knitting yarn is a beautiful choice for anyone who loves soft, smooth wool with a refined look. This yarn feels comfortable in the hands while knitting and is easy to enjoy whether you are a beginner or already have plenty of experience. The rich red-violet shade gives projects warmth and depth, making it a lovely color for clothing and accessories that you want to wear again and again.

Made from 100% merino wool, more specifically merino extrafine, this yarn is known for its gentle feel and pleasant softness. That means your finished item can feel comfortable against the skin, which is especially important for sweaters, scarves, hats, and children’s knits. With a ball weight of 50 grams and a generous length of 160 meters, you get excellent yardage for the price, so it offers great value for money for many different projects.

Features & benefits

This Lana Grossa yarn is designed for fine, neat results. Worked on needle sizes 3 to 3.5 mm, it helps create even stitches with clear stitch definition. If you enjoy textured patterns, ribs, cables, or simple stockinette, you will be able to see your stitches nicely. The recommended tension is 24 stitches and 34 rows over 10 x 10 cm, which makes it a practical option for garments and accessories where shape and structure matter.

One of the nicest things about Lana Grossa knitting yarn is the balance between softness and stitch clarity. The fabric has a smooth, elegant look, while still feeling warm and wearable. In the finished piece, you will notice that the yarn gives a clean surface and a comfortable drape without looking heavy. Because it is merino extrafine, it is a great option for everyday knitting projects that need both comfort and a polished finish.

For adult garments, you can expect to use around 8 balls for a European size 38-40, which is helpful when planning a sweater or cardigan. This makes it easier to estimate your project and budget before you begin.

Tips & care

Before starting your project, it is always a good idea to knit a swatch. This helps you check whether your tension matches the recommended 24 stitches and 34 rows over 10 x 10 cm, and it also lets you see how the fabric feels on your chosen needles. If you prefer a slightly firmer fabric, start with 3 mm needles; if you want a softer result, try 3.5 mm.

The red-violet color is a lovely statement on its own, but it also works well with calm neutrals or deeper shades if you want to combine yarns in stripes, details, or colorwork. Keep in mind that combining yarns can change the final texture, so a small test piece is always helpful.

For care, treat merino wool gently. Follow general wool-safe care habits: avoid harsh washing, handle the fabric carefully, and let it dry flat to help the shape stay beautiful. A little extra care will help your handmade items stay attractive and comfortable for longer.

If you are looking for a dependable yarn from a trusted brand, this shade from Lana Grossa is a lovely place to begin. Choose Cool Wool Vintage Red-violet 7396 for your next scarf, sweater, or accessory and enjoy soft, clear, elegant results from the first stitch to the last.
