Liloppi ELLA – DK Wool Yarn with Polyamide
Liloppi ELLA is a high-quality Italian DK weight yarn designed for knitters and crocheters looking for a soft, warm and durable wool blend with a distinctive texture. It combines 75% RWS-certified wool with 25% polyamide, bringing together the natural qualities of wool and the strength of a durable synthetic fibre.
Each 50 g ball contains 130 metres of yarn, with a recommended needle and hook size of 5.0–6.0 mm. Its DK weight makes ELLA a versatile choice for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects, from sweaters and cardigans to hats, scarves and cosy winter accessories.
One of ELLA's most distinctive features is its clearly visible braided polyamide structure, complemented by a delicate woolly halo. Once knitted or crocheted, the yarn creates a soft, slightly blurred texture, giving the finished fabric a subtle, atmospheric look rather than a sharply defined surface.
ELLA feels soft and comfortable against the skin, without a pronounced scratchy feeling. As with any wool yarn, however, sensitivity to wool is individual and can vary from person to person. The yarn is made using Macrowash technology, adding practicality to this wool-rich blend.
Why choose Liloppi ELLA?
ELLA combines the warmth and natural character of RWS wool with the durability of polyamide. With 75% wool in the composition, the finished fabric retains the qualities associated with natural wool, while the 25% polyamide content strengthens the yarn and gives it its distinctive braided appearance.
Its softness and subtle halo create a beautiful finished fabric. ELLA does not have an overly rustic look; instead, its surface has a soft, slightly hazy character that works particularly well in contemporary knitwear and simple, well-designed garments.
DK weight makes ELLA wonderfully versatile. With 130 m per 50 g and a recommended needle and hook size of 5.0–6.0 mm, it is suitable for both larger garments and smaller accessories. Around 10 balls are enough for a loose-fitting size M sweater, although actual yarn consumption depends on the design, size, stitch pattern and individual tension.
What can you make with Liloppi ELLA?
Liloppi ELLA is particularly well suited to sweaters, cardigans, vests and oversized knitwear, where its soft texture and subtly blurred appearance can really shine. It is also a lovely choice for hats, cowls, scarves, mittens and other warm autumn and winter accessories.
The DK weight works beautifully with simple stitches, textured patterns and larger needle sizes. Because the yarn itself has such an interesting surface, even a simple stockinette or basic crochet stitch can create an attractive finished fabric.
If you are looking for DK wool yarn, soft wool yarn with polyamide, RWS wool yarn for knitting, or a high-quality Italian yarn for autumn and winter projects, Liloppi ELLA is a versatile option worth exploring.
