Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Corallo 05 Red

Looking for a smooth, comfortable yarn that feels great in your hands and gives a polished result? Corallo 05 Red is a warm, vibrant shade that brings energy to simple stitches and makes textured patterns stand out. This Corallo 05 Red knitting yarn is beginner-friendly, easy to handle, and a lovely choice when you want a soft finish without fuss. With its cotton-rich blend and a touch of merino, it’s a practical option for everyday knitting that still feels special.

Features & benefits

This Lana Grossa yarn is made from 70% cotton and 30% merino wool, combining a breathable feel with gentle softness. You’ll notice a neat stitch definition, so your knit and purl rows look clear and even—great for learning, and equally satisfying for experienced knitters who love tidy results. Each 100 g ball gives you around 210 meters, which offers great value for money because you can cover a lot of fabric without needing an excessive number of balls. It’s designed for needles around 5 to 5.5 mm, a comfortable size that helps your work grow quickly and makes it easier to see your stitches.

For sizing, a 10 x 10 cm swatch typically comes to about 18 stitches by 26 rows, and you’ll usually need around 4–5 balls for a women’s size 38–40 sweater, depending on your pattern and fit.

Project ideas

• A classic scarf with clean edges and beautiful, even stitches
• A relaxed hat on 5–5.5 mm needles for a quick weekend make
• A lightweight sweater or simple top (perfect for everyday wear)
• A casual cardigan with clear stitch detail and comfortable drape
• A shawl that shows off the red color in simple stripes or sections
• Cozy accessories like cowls or wrist warmers

Practical tips & care

Always knit a small swatch first, especially if you’re matching a pattern gauge—small changes in needle size can help you hit the recommended tension. Corallo 05 Red looks striking on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with neutrals for bold stripes or color blocking. If you like experimenting, try combining it with another smooth yarn in a similar thickness to create subtle contrast in texture (just swatch first to check the fabric). For care, follow the instructions on the ball band; in general, treat cotton-wool blends gently and avoid harsh washing or high heat to keep your finished item looking its best.
