Lana Grossa Mohair Di Gio knitting yarn

Luxurious mohair knitting yarn in our Verelana yarn shop

Lana Grossa Mohair Di Gio is a premium knitting yarn for anyone who loves airy lightness and refined elegance in their projects. Available in our Verelana yarn shop, this yarn combines 55% Superkid Mohair with 45% soft Merino virgin wool, resulting in a cloud-like texture with a gentle halo and subtle sheen. Each 50 g ball offers approximately 85 m of yarn, giving you beautiful volume without extra weight.

Fiber content, weight & feel

The high Superkid Mohair content gives Mohair Di Gio its characteristic fluffy halo and luxurious appearance, while the Merino wool core adds elasticity, warmth and softness next to the skin. This blend creates a light yet insulating yarn that is ideal for layering pieces in autumn and winter, but airy enough for year-round wear in open lace patterns.

With a tension of around 12 stitches x 16 rows over 10 x 10 cm, this yarn sits in the category of bulky, airy mohair yarns, perfect for garments and accessories that should feel weightless, but still look full and cosy.

Needle size & knitting experience

The recommended needle size is 7–8 mm, which allows the Mohair Di Gio fibers to bloom and create that sought-after, light and fluffy look. For more structured fabrics, you can move slightly down within the suggested range; for ultra-airy cardigans or oversized sweaters, stay on the larger needles. Always knit a gauge swatch first, as mohair and merino can “grow” a little after blocking.

Thanks to the soft halo, the stitch definition is soft and slightly blurred rather than crisp, making it wonderful for simple stockinette, garter stitch, and relaxed ribbing. Lace patterns look especially romantic with this yarn, as the mohair fills the spaces and highlights the openwork.

Project ideas with Lana Grossa Mohair Di Gio

• Lightweight oversized sweaters and trendy slipovers
• Fluffy cardigans and cocooning jackets (about 8 balls for size 38–40)
• Airy scarves, wraps and luxurious stoles
• Soft hats, snoods and elegant accessories

Whether you knit a simple beginner project or a more advanced lace design, this Lana Grossa Mohair Di Gio knitting yarn turns every piece into an eye-catching, fashion-forward item.

Care instructions & durability

To preserve the delicate mohair fibers, we recommend gentle hand washing in lukewarm water with a mild wool detergent, followed by careful pressing in a towel and drying flat. Avoid heavy agitation and tumble drying to keep the halo beautiful and prevent felting. Look after it well and your knits will stay light, warm and elegant for many seasons.
