The ultimate year-round companion for your handmade wardrobe: Lana Grossa Ecopuno.
Combining the breathable freshness of cotton, the resilient warmth of Merino wool, and the cloud-like softness of baby alpaca, this unique yarn is custom-built for effortless transition garments.
Ecopuno packs an incredible 215 metres into a single 50g ball. It works up comfortably on 4–4.5mm needles, matching standard DK/8-ply patterns to deliver a lightweight, beautifully drapey fabric without any dense weight.
From breezy summer tops and flowing shawls to cozy everyday cardigans.
The unique mesh structure also provides exceptional stitch definition, bringing complex lacework, textured ribs, and plain stockinette to life with a smooth, elegant finish. Most importantly, it is naturally temperature-regulating and breathable so you can confidently wear your creations through all four seasons.
If you want to elevate your projects with a truly luxurious finish, Ecopuno partners beautifully with Lana Grossa Setasuri—a premium lace-weight blend of Suri alpaca and silk. Holding one strand of Ecopuno together with one strand of Setasuri transforms the yarn into an incredibly soft, medium-thick Worsted to heavy Aran weight fabric. This popular combination creates an exceptional depth of colour and a dream-like, fluffy halo while maintaining a structured, breathable base. When knitting these two strands together, switching to larger 4.5mm to 5.5mm needles is recommended to allow the rich Suri alpaca fibres room to bloom
