Liloppi Runa is exactly the yarn you reach for when you want your project to be as light as a cloud, soft against the skin, and perfect in every stitch. It’s a blend with a high content of extra-fine merino from mulesing-free farms (70%), supplemented with polyamide (30%), which provides durability and stability to the knit. The result? The yarn is delicate, slightly fluffy, and subtly “airy,” yet it holds its shape and wears well. Add to that the irregular shading and depth of color, which make a statement even in the simplest patterns. This is a yarn that looks good on the needles and even better after blocking.
Why choose Liloppi Runa?
-
high content of extrafine merino – softness without compromise
-
fibers from responsible, sustainable farming
-
polyamide blend → greater durability and resistance to pilling
-
lightweight and economical – 225 m / 50 g makes a big difference
-
subtle shading effect – every project looks “more”
-
versatile – works well with various techniques
What projects do we recommend Liloppi Runa yarn for?
This is a versatile yarn. It works great for projects such as:
-
sweaters (both lightweight and all-season)
-
cardigans and shawls
-
scarves, shawls, and snoods
-
hats and accessories
-
jacquard projects (the pattern “reads” beautifully)
-
lacework (the lightness and fluffiness create a wow effect)
If you like yarns that glide over the needles, and the finished piece is light as a feather and soft against the skin—this is exactly the vibe.
How does Liloppi Runa knit?
It works best with 3–4 mm needles or a 3–4 mm crochet hook, where it truly shines—from smooth stockinette to more complex patterns.
The yarn is:
-
smooth, but with a slight “sheen”
-
easy to work with on needles
-
doesn’t split
-
creates an even, neat stitch structure
You’ll need about 300g of yarn for a loose-fitting size M sweater.
