Discover the enchanting blend of luxury and innovation with FORTUNA by Lang Yarns.
This extraordinary yarn combines 90% extrafine virgin merino wool with 10% cashmere to create a fibre experience that's both incredibly soft and wonderfully airy.
What sets FORTUNA apart is its unique approach to colour. Rather than traditional dyeing methods, this yarn undergoes an innovative printing process that preserves its natural loftiness while creating vibrant, distinctive colour effects. Each skein reveals a lively surface pattern that brings unique character to every project resembling a semi-solid hand-dyed wool.
The thoughtful printing technique not only creates beautiful aesthetics but also serves a practical purpose, maintaining the yarn's airy structure and luxurious feel. The result is a yarn that's as delightful to work with as it is to wear.
Pro Tip: For the most beautiful results, we recommend working with two balls at once, alternating every couple of rows. This technique ensures an even, harmonious distribution of the printed colours throughout your project.
