Cotton Linen Viscose Yarn, MANGO, Premium Italian Yarn by Lana Gatto, Sport Weight, 260m/100g (284y/3.52oz)

MANGO by Lana Gatto, Italy is a refined summer yarn from the Fashion Collection, Summer Yarns 2026, created from 76% Cotton, 14% Linen, and 10% Viscose. With approximately 260 meters / 284 yards per 100 g, this fine sport-weight yarn combines cotton softness, linen freshness, and a touch of viscose for a smoother, lighter finish. Lana Gatto presents it as an eco-friendly multicolour summer yarn in 100 g balls, recommended on 3.0 mm needles.

What makes MANGO especially appealing is its relaxed summer character. The cotton keeps it soft and comfortable, the linen adds a natural airy texture, and the viscose helps the fabric feel a little more fluid and polished. The result is a breathable yarn with a softly textured, modern look that works beautifully for warm-weather garments. Lana Gatto also positions MANGO as the softer, more pastel companion to ANANAS within the Summer 2026 collection.
