Lana Grossa Erba, made in Italy |
Erba is a trendy fleece yarn, which alternates between fluffy and short-haired fleece and matt/sheen, lighter in colour, rectangular slubs equally placed on its strand. Because of this slightly compicated design, the finished fabric has a beautiful and trendy surface. Knitwear made of Erba is suitable for summer: tank-tops, short-sleeved sweaters, summer cardigans, boleros, wrap-arounds, etc. It can be used in combination with other yarns as well. It is a yarn for those who are fond of experimenting.
