Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Cosy Socks 03 Lilac purple

Cosy Socks 03 Lilac purple knitting yarn is a wonderfully practical choice when you want socks that feel comfortable on the skin and stand up to everyday wear. This Lana Grossa yarn glides nicely on the needles, making it suitable for confident knitters as well as beginners who want a reliable first sock yarn. The lilac purple shade is soft and wearable—pretty without being too bright—so it fits right into many wardrobes.

Features & benefits

This yarn comes in a generous 100 g ball with around 400 m, so you get lots of yardage for your money. The fiber blend combines 70% virgin wool for warmth and natural softness with 30% polyamide for extra strength—ideal for hard-wearing heels and toes. Worked on 2.5–3 mm needles, it creates a neat fabric with clear stitch definition, so ribbing, simple cables, and textured patterns look crisp and tidy.

If you like to follow patterns, it’s helpful to know the recommended gauge: a 10 x 10 cm swatch typically lands around 28 stitches and 40 rows. That makes planning sizing much easier and helps your finished item feel consistent and professional.

Project ideas

• Classic cuff-down or toe-up socks with a snug rib
• Cozy ankle socks or sporty shorties for everyday shoes
• Fingerless mitts with a stretchy cuff
• A lightweight beanie with clean, defined ribbing
• A simple baby hat or baby booties (soft, warm, and practical)
• A delicate shawl with texture or slip stitches for extra detail

Practical tips & care

Take a few minutes to knit a small swatch before starting—especially for socks—so you can check your gauge and adjust needle size if needed. Lilac purple pairs beautifully with greys, cream, navy, or a deeper purple for stripes; you can also combine it with a coordinating solid to highlight heels, toes, or cuffs. For care, always follow the instructions on the ball band and treat handknits gently; letting socks dry flat helps them keep their shape longer.
