🧵 The Yarn
Lana PASTELLO Silke by Arvier is a wool blend yarn made in Italy that combines the natural softness of 60% virgin wool with the practicality of 40% acrylic. Designed for those looking for a versatile ball of yarn suitable for the whole family, from newborns to adults, this yarn guarantees warmth, comfort, and easy care thanks to its machine-washable properties.
Each 50-gram ball provides approximately 100 meters of smooth, uniform yarn, perfect for knitting with 4-4.5mm needles or crocheting with the same sizes. Its soft structure and range of pastel and vibrant colors make it ideal for everyday projects that require practicality without sacrificing quality.
🧬 Technical Composition: why it works
The 60% virgin wool is the main fiber of this yarn and ensures the natural thermal properties of wool: it retains body heat, allows the skin to breathe, and offers a natural softness to the touch. Virgin wool is particularly valued for its ability to regulate temperature, making garments comfortable in both cool and moderately warm environments. This high percentage ensures the yarn retains the typical characteristics of pure wool while benefiting from the support of the synthetic fiber.
The 40% acrylic serves to solve the main problem of pure wool: maintenance difficulty. Thanks to this synthetic fiber, the yarn becomes machine washable at 30°C on a delicate wool cycle, keeping its shape and color unchanged over time. Acrylic also adds wear resistance and reduces the risk of felting, making this yarn perfect for daily use garments and children's clothing that require frequent washing.
📦 Format and ball yield
Each ball weighs 50 grams and offers approximately 100 meters of yarn. With just one ball, you can make small accessories such as baby hats, cowls, or wrist warmers. For more structured projects, the approximate yield is: for a size 42 sweater, you need about 450-550 grams (9-11 balls); for a size 48, about 550-650 grams (11-13 balls); while for a 10-year-old child's sweater, 350-400 grams (7-8 balls) are enough.
We recommend purchasing all the balls needed for your project at once, preferably from the same dye lot, to avoid shade differences between balls. Although minimal, variations between different lots can be visible on large surfaces like the body of a sweater.
🧶 Recommended working
Lana PASTELLO yarn is ideally worked with 4-4.5mm needles. This needle size is considered medium and very versatile: it allows for an even stitch, neither too tight nor too loose, perfect for garments that need to be warm but not excessively heavy. With 4mm needles, you get a tension of about 19 stitches x 27 rows on a 10x10cm swatch in stockinette stitch, ideal for sweaters, cardigans, and structured accessories.
For crochet, use 4-4.5mm sizes to get a compact stitch suitable for bags, hats, and scarves. The yarn slides well on both needles and hooks thanks to its twisted yet soft structure, making it suitable even for those who are just starting out. The smooth workability reduces hand fatigue during long sessions.
✨ Why choose Lana PASTELLO Silke
Most pure wool yarns require hand washing and flat drying, tasks that require time and attention. Lana PASTELLO solves this problem thanks to the acrylic component that allows for machine washing at 30°C without the risk of felting or shrinking. This makes it perfect for children's items, everyday clothing, and projects that need to be practical as well as beautiful.
Compared to 100% acrylic yarns, Lana PASTELLO offers natural softness and superior thermal properties thanks to the 60% virgin wool. Garments made with this yarn are warmer, breathable, and comfortable against the skin, without the "plastic" effect typical of pure acrylics. It is the perfect compromise between the quality of a natural fiber and practical use.
🎨 What you can make
Lana PASTELLO is a versatile yarn suitable for a wide range of projects for the whole family. Thanks to its softness and machine-washability, it is particularly recommended for children's and newborn clothing, but also for everyday adult garments that require practicality.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
Lana PASTELLO is a yarn suitable for all experience levels. Its smooth and uniform structure makes it easy to work with, even for those who are just starting out with needles or hooks.

This yarn is particularly appreciated by moms and grandmas who make garments for children and babies, thanks to the convenience of machine washing without worries. It is also chosen by those who knit to sell their handmade products, because it offers a good quality-price ratio and professional results.
