🧵 The yarn
Lana MANDORLO Silke by Arvier is an acrylic-wool blend yarn with an airy, soft texture, designed for those looking for a versatile, warm yarn that is easy to work with. The balanced composition combines the natural warmth of wool with the practicality of acrylic and the strength of polyamide, creating an ideal yarn for comfortable, long-lasting winter wear.
The 100-gram, 250-meter format ensures an excellent yield for medium-to-large projects. It can be worked with 6-7mm needles or a 6-7mm crochet hook, producing a soft, voluminous fabric that is pleasant to the touch and perfect for cardigans, scarves, shawls, and handmade accessories.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 20% wool provides natural warmth and breathability, keeping the body warm without overheating. Wool absorbs moisture and regulates body temperature, essential qualities for winter wear that needs to remain comfortable all day. The natural fiber also gives the finished yarn softness and an elegant appearance.
The 68% acrylic adds practicality and ease of care: the yarn is machine washable, retains its shape over time, and does not felt. The 12% polyamide strengthens the yarn's structure, increasing wear resistance and ensuring that garments retain their beauty even after numerous washes. This combination makes MANDORLO a well-balanced yarn in terms of quality, comfort, and practicality.
📦 Skein format and yield
Each skein weighs 100 grams and offers approximately 250 meters of yarn. One skein is enough to make a hat or neck warmer, while a medium scarf requires 2 skeins. The generous length allows you to complete projects without waste and for a reasonable investment.
For a medium-sized adult cardigan, allow 6-8 skeins; for a sweater, 5-7 skeins. We recommend purchasing all the skeins you need from the same order to ensure color consistency. The length may vary by ±5% between production batches, a normal tolerance for artisan-quality yarns.
🧶 Recommended working method
6-7mm needles are the ideal size to showcase MANDORLO's airy texture. This size produces a soft, loose, and voluminous fabric, perfect for garments that wrap around without feeling heavy. Working with thinner needles (5-5.5mm) will produce a more compact fabric suitable for structured jackets; with thicker needles (7.5-8mm), the result will be ultra-light, ideal for shawls and stoles.
The yarn also works easily with a 6-7mm crochet hook, creating well-defined, even stitches. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters: the airy texture hides small imperfections and makes working with it enjoyable. The recommended gauge is approximately 13 stitches x 18 rows on a 10x10cm square with 6-7mm needles.
✨ Why choose Lana MANDORLO
Compared to 100% acrylic yarns, MANDORLO offers the warmth and breathability of natural wool without the plastic feel typical of pure synthetic fibers. Compared to 100% wool yarns, it is easier to wash and more affordable, without compromising the quality of the finished result. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a balance of natural fibers, comfort, and ease of care.
The airy texture creates voluminous, lightweight garments that wrap around without feeling heavy. Your projects will be soft to the touch, warm to wear, and easy to care for: a 30°C machine wash is all it takes to keep them fresh and beautiful over time. A yarn that makes life easier without compromising quality.
🎨 What you can make
MANDORLO is perfect for soft, enveloping cardigans and shawls, voluminous scarves and stoles, and warm winter hats and gloves. Thanks to its airy texture, it is also ideal for lightweight blankets and throws that provide comfort without excessive weight.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
MANDORLO is easy to work with and suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters. The airy texture works well with needles and crochet hooks, making it enjoyable and quick to work with. Simple stitches such as stockinette or garter stitch highlight the yarn's softness, while openwork stitches create light, airy effects.
It is chosen by crafters looking for a versatile yarn for winter projects, by artisans who make custom garments, and by anyone who wants to create quality handmade gifts. Its ease of care makes it ideal for garments intended for children and teenagers, which require frequent washing.
