Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Frizzante 05 Black

Looking for a modern black yarn that’s comfortable to wear and pleasant to work with? Frizzante 05 Black is a smooth, lightweight-feeling option that glides nicely on your needles and helps your stitches look neat. This yarn is a great fit for beginners who want clear results without fuss, and it’s equally enjoyable for experienced makers who appreciate clean lines and an easy, reliable fabric.

Features & benefits

Frizzante 05 Black knitting yarn from the Lana Grossa brand blends 54% cotton with 46% polyamide. In everyday terms: you get the natural, soft touch of cotton, plus the added strength and elasticity that polyamide brings. That mix can help your finished pieces keep their shape and feel comfortable against the skin.

Each 50 g ball gives you around 105 meters, making it easy to plan your project and budget. With recommended needles size 5–6 mm, progress is quick, and the fabric has a pleasant drape while still holding stitch definition well—great for simple stitches like stockinette or ribbing, where you want an even, tidy look.

Need a guide for sizing? A 10 x 10 cm swatch comes to about 18 stitches x 26 rows. For a women’s size 38–40 sweater, you’ll typically need around 8 balls.

Project ideas

• A relaxed everyday sweater or simple top in classic black
• A cardigan with clean edges and minimal shaping
• A soft scarf that shows off smooth, even stitches
• A ribbed hat with a comfortable fit
• A lightweight shawl for layering in any season
• Simple cuffs, collars, or accent panels to pair with other yarns

Practical tips & care

Before you start, make a small swatch to confirm your gauge—especially if you’re making a garment. Black is timeless, but it also highlights texture in an elegant way; consider pairing it with a contrasting color for stripes or bold borders. You can also combine it with another yarn to add texture, but keep needle size and drape in mind so the fabric stays comfortable.

For care, always follow the instructions on the ball band. As a general tip, treat handmade items gently: avoid harsh heat, support the piece when wet, and let it dry in shape to keep your knitting looking its best.
