UPDATE: As of 11/19/2014, we are totally sold out of Lana Grossa Linea Pura Taglia!
*************************************************************
We’ve just discounted Lana Grossa Linea Pura Taglia, a yarn with many names.
Taglia is a bulky weight yarn made of 100% organic Mako cotton, but its unusual construction keeps it remarkably lightweight. Many yarns are composed of strands of fiber twisted together, but Taglia is essentially a knitted tube, which gives the usually-inelastic cotton fiber extra stretchiness. Taglia suggests a US size 10 needle to obtain a gauge of 3.5 stitches per inch, and yet the fabric it creates is much lighter in weight than more traditionally-constructed bulky weight yarns.
A quick visit to Ravelry reveals that many have used Taglia for sweaters, which makes sense, given that it knits up quickly but creates a light fabric–a rare combination. Taglia is also well-suited to accessories and baby things, since it happens to be machine-washable. Come by the shop to get Taglia at 25% off!
(A reminder: all discounted yarns are final sale, so we can’t offer exchanges or refunds. Thanks!)
