Lagom, 50 g

Merino-Cotton Blend

Lagom is a soft and lightweight chainette yarn made from a blend of extrafine merino wool and long-staple cotton. A small amount of polyamide enhances the yarn’s durability. Our selection includes eight earthy shades, where the melange effect creates a refined, lively surface. The yarn has excellent yardage and is quick to knit. In addition to basic stitches, it is well suited for various rib stitches, cables, and textured stitch patterns.

Thanks to its airy chainette construction, garments made with Lagom yarn are exceptionally light, soft, and warm. Its breathable qualities make it ideal for warm-weather sweaters and other comfortable everyday knits for both adults and children. Lagom is also an excellent choice for a baby’s first knitted garments and adorable baby blankets.
