Exclusively produced in Italy by owner-managed traditional companies.

COMO Grande is the twice as thick version of COMO. The six-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT yarn made of 100% superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns thus achieves the category Bulky (yardage 131 yd. on 1.76 oz.). The carded yarn gets its unique lightness and its extremely soft feel through an innovative manufacturing method. The temperature-regulating and breathable properties of merino wool are supported positively, and the light wool fluff creates a noble, discreetly matt surface.

The mulesing-free raw wool for COMO Grande is sourced from selected Australian shepherds and is spun and dyed in Italy by a family-run traditional company. The merino wool used is certified regarding animal welfare, sustainability and social responsibility and is dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for baby products.

These properties make COMO Grande particularly versatile. Thanks to the softness and machine washability it is very suitable for baby clothes, accessories and everything that should be cuddly soft. Fair Isle gets a great look and especially larger knitwear benefits from the low weight, holding the shape excellently due to the elasticity in combination with the lightness of the yarn.

COMO Grande can excellently be worked one-stranded, but also offers the ideal basis for combinations with our other qualities. For an extra portion of fluff and even more softness, COMO Grande can be wonderfully knitted with our Super-Kid mohair yarn PREMIA, but also MODENA and our alpaca yarns PIURA and CUSI are perfect as accompanying yarns.


LAMANA color world: Due to the carefully coordinated colors, our qualities can be combined very harmoniously with each other, but also offer the possibilities of light nuances and strong contrasts.

Care: COMO GRANDE can be washed in the washing machine using the wool cycle at 30°. The wool then blooms again and becomes noticeably softer, fluffier and the knitting pattern even more dense. We recommend the use of a neutral, mild wool detergent without enzymes and plasticizers, in very low doses. Then dry the knitted piece gently lying flat and avoid direct sunlight.

COMO family: COMO, COMO Tweed, COMO Grande, COMO Grande Tweed and COMO Cashmere are perfectly matched to each other. COMO is identical in thickness and gauge to Como Tweed and COMO Cashmere. Knitted double-stranded, two COMO strands correspond to one strand of COMO Grande. Thus, all patterns from COMO Grande Tweed and COMO Grande can be knitted accordingly with COMO.


The LAMANA SUPERLIGHT Collection – for featherlight knitwear:

Thanks to innovative manufacturing processes, our SUPERLIGHT yarns offer a unique lightness. Thus, the knitted favorite pieces weigh significantly less than usual and offer an incomparably airy wearing comfort.

Merino wool comes from the Merino sheep, a fine-wooled sheep breed that provides high quality wool. The outstanding characteristics of the fine Merino wool are an especially high evenness and elasticity. Furthermore, the light and soft texture offers a scratch-free wearing comfort. The high crimp of the Merino wool fibres creates air pockets, which ensure a very effective temperature regulation and a very good breathability.
