Lana Grossa Gomitolo Fumo – soft long-gradient cake yarn with wide stripes

Lana Grossa Gomitolo Fumo is a soft, voluminous self-striping yarn from the Gomitolo collection. This single ply yarn is made from 50% virgin wool and 50% acrylic and creates wide, evenly spaced stripes without having to change colours yourself. Each 200 g cake with approx. 700 m of yarn is perfect for large shawls, ponchos or lightweight sweaters. 

Yarn details

Composition, yardage and gauge

Gomitolo Fumo comes in 200 g cakes with a yardage of about 700 m. Recommended needle size is 4.5–5 mm. The gauge is around 19–22 stitches x 24–27 rows over 10 x 10 cm, depending on your personal tension. For a women’s sweater in size 38–40 you need only about 300 g, so many patterns require just 2 cakes.

Light but warm wool/acrylic blend

The blend of wool and acrylic makes this type of yarn warm, soft and pleasantly light. Wool adds warmth and breathability, while acrylic improves durability and helps garments keep their shape. Gomitolo Fumo can be washed gently at 30°C on a delicate or wool cycle. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
