Knitting yarn by Lana Grossa – Meilenweit 100 Woolycell Duo

Merino & lyocell sock yarn with a smooth, modern feel

Meilenweit 100 Woolycell Duo is a refined, wearable knitting yarn designed for long-lasting socks and everyday accessories. Each 100 g skein gives you around 400 m, making it a practical choice for standard adult socks as well as lightweight shawls, hats, or gloves. The fiber mix of 65% merino wool and 35% lyocell combines natural warmth with a pleasantly cool touch and a sleek, even surface.

Merino wool is valued in knitting for its softness, elasticity, and comfortable temperature regulation, while lyocell (a cellulose fiber) adds smoothness, strength, and a subtle sheen. The result is a sock yarn that feels gentle against the skin, keeps its shape well, and shows crisp, tidy stitches—ideal when you want smooth stitch definition and vibrant shades to stand out.

Needle size & knitting experience

The recommended needle size is 2.5–3 mm. On smaller needles you’ll get a firmer, more durable fabric for hard-wearing socks; on the upper end you can create a slightly lighter drape for accessories. A gauge swatch is worth the time—especially for socks and fitted knitting—because a small needle change can noticeably affect fit and fabric density. The stated tension is 28 stitches x 40 rows over 10 x 10 cm.

Project ideas: from socks to stylish accessories

This Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Woolycell Duo collection is a great match for classic ribbed socks, slip-stitch textures, and simple colorwork where clean lines matter. The smooth structure also makes it a smart option for:

• Everyday socks (cuff-down or toe-up)
• Lightweight beanies and fingerless mitts
• Baby knits and soft next-to-skin accessories
• Minimalist shawls and scarves with neat stitch definition

Care & wear

For best results, wash knitted items gently (hand wash or a wool cycle) with a suitable wool detergent and dry flat. This helps maintain the softness of merino and supports the smooth look and strength contributed by lyocell—especially important for frequently worn socks.
