Passion Fruit – Limited Edition summer yarn from Lana Gatto SS26
Passion Fruit is part of Lana Gatto's SS26 Summer Yarns and lies in their Atelier Collection, where the focus is on quality, materials and the little extra in the expression. It is one Limited Edition yarn, which is only produced once – so once the colors are sold out, they won't come again.
This makes Passion Fruit an obvious choice for those of you who want to knit something special: light, feminine and summery - with a touch of glamour.
Material: 83% cotton, 9% Metallized Fiber, 8% Nylon
The cotton gives a comfortable, light and breathable result, while the metallic fibers add a fine shine that catches the light without drowning out your design.
What can you knit in Passion Fruit?
Passion Fruit is particularly suitable light and thin summer projects, where you want an elegant fit and a refined look.
Good projects in Passion Fruit:
- Summer tops and camisoles
- Short-sleeved blouses and tees
- Light blouses with structure or simple masks, where the shine is allowed to play
- Small accessories with shine (e.g. light scarves or details)
If you want a more subdued expression, you can choose a simple recipe where the glitter of the yarn is allowed to be the "detail". If you want to increase the effect, use it in edges, stripes or panels.
Use Passion Fruit as a trailing thread - easy glitter lift
One of the easiest ways to use Passion Fruit is as follow thread together with another yarn, when you want to give your knitwear a festive and elegant twist. Here you get the glitter effect into the project without changing it completely - and you can control how clear the effect should be.
Ideas for follow thread:
- Use it together with a smooth cotton or merino yarn for a "clean" look with shine
- Combine with mohair/silk mohair for a soft veil + glitter
- Use it only in ribbed edges, stripes or as an effect in a pattern
Running length and "a lot of yarn for the money"
With 50 g = 275 meters you really get a lot of meters in one key. This makes Passion Fruit ideal for summer knitting, where you often don't use as many grams - but still want an exclusive expression and a delicious finish.
