With its 115 meters per 50g ball and recommended work with knitting needles or crochet hooks of 3-4 mm, this yarn adapts perfectly to projects of any difficulty level.
Creative Versatility for Clothing and Accessories
Cotton Diana lends itself magnificently to creating spring and summer garments, from lightweight sweaters to open cardigans, from openwork tops to elegant evening stoles. Its versatile nature makes it ideal for lace stitches that enhance the brilliance of lurex, as well as for stockinette work that highlights the yarn's softness. Perfect also for fashion accessories like summer bags, headbands and light shawls, this Italian yarn allows you to create garments that stylishly accompany from casual to formal occasions.
Luminous Effects and Refined Textures
The lurex insert in Cotton Diana has been designed to create a luminous effect that is never excessive, characterized by small gold and silver lamé clusters harmoniously distributed along the yarn. This particular processing allows you to obtain garments that capture and reflect light naturally, creating plays of shadows and reflections that enhance the silhouette. The resulting texture is sophisticated and contemporary, perfect for those who love sought-after details and quality finishes.
Working and Care Tips
To get the most from Cotton Diana, we recommend using lace stitches or fan motifs that enhance the yarn's natural luminosity. The reference gauge of 18 stitches x 22 rows in 10x10 cm with 3.5 mm needles guarantees a soft yet consistent fabric. Thanks to its balanced composition, this summer yarn is machine washable up to 40°C and should be dried flat to maintain the beauty and shape of garments intact. The final result is always impeccable, with that Made in Italy quality that characterizes Tessiland products and transforms every project into a masterpiece of style and refinement.
