Cozy projects for cold days

You can achieve especially beautiful results with premium yarns containing mohair, cashmere, alpaca wool or camel hair. These yarns impress not only with their high quality and structure, but also with their visual appeal. Our yarn Mohana contains 10% mohair and is available in eight delicate pastel color gradients. You can use it to create everything from stylish hats and trendy slipovers to sweaters and fluffy scarves. The yarn feels wonderfully soft on the skin and looks cozy and elegant at the same time.

For projects with Mohana, we recommend needle sizes 4-5 or 5-6. You can view the exact details when selecting your favorite colors and projects.

The choice is truly difficult. Both premium yarns let you create beautiful fashion accessories. Camello stands out with an elegant look and a touch of luxury: the exclusive blend of 20% fine camel hair and 80% virgin wool, together with the soft melange effect, gives the yarn its unique character. In sweaters especially, Camello impresses not only with its stylish appearance but also with excellent heat regulation, making it ideal for the cold season. Alpasoft is just as convincing: with an impressive 63% alpaca wool content, it also provides pleasant warmth and is perfect for cozy slipovers or sweaters. This exquisite chainette yarn delights with its soft, fluffy feel and a lovely color gradient that comes straight from the ball. Both yarns work beautifully with needle sizes 6-7. Whichever you choose, both promise knitting joy and wonderful results.

Sometimes choosing the right colors is almost as exciting as the knitting itself, isn't it? It is always a special moment when you decide on a color concept, place your order and soon hold the beautiful delivery in your hands. With our Merino Mio made from 100% virgin wool (merino, extrafine), you can choose your favorite combination from 36 colors in our online shop. So you can start right away, our website offers free patterns, from hats and sweaters to triangular shawls, baby booties and little egg-warmer hats. You can decide individually whether to create a coordinated set or combine different concepts. Our Merino Mio yarn is mulesing-free and, thanks to its 12-ply double twisting process, hardly pills. And the best comes last: all your lovingly knitted and crocheted pieces can be washed easily in your washing machine's special wool program. Anyone who has made something special from wool with love and dedication knows how important that is, right?

Patience may be a virtue, but honestly, sometimes it is really put to the test. On days when you simply long for a quick sense of achievement, it is even nicer when a DIY project is not only fun but finished in no time. For exactly those moments, Gründl has the perfect companions for you: Chunky Degradé and Déjàvu. Both are made from 100% virgin wool, bring the color gradient straight from the ball and include a surprise in the label. With the voluminous roving yarn Chunky Degradé and size 12 needles, one ball is enough for a small stylish bag. Déjàvu includes patterns for a scarf and hat in the label; again, all you need is one ball, and voila, barely started and already finished. Perfect for impatient knitting fans. Chunky Degradé and Déjàvu are ideal not only for beginners, but for everyone who wants to try something new quickly.

Yes, there are. First of all, choosing the right yarn is important. If you want it really cozy and warm, look for a high wool content or special fibers such as alpaca wool or camel hair. You can also support the warming effect with specific knitting techniques. Tightly knitted patterns make the fabric denser and therefore more protective against the cold. Two-strand techniques and choosing the right needles to keep the stitch pattern compact can also create a thicker, wind-resistant surface. For that, however, you should already have a little knitting practice. But do not worry: with the right cozy yarn, you are definitely already warmly wrapped up. We wish you lots of fun shopping, knitting, crocheting and wearing all the new cozy projects you take on next.
