WOW GRATTÉ by Katia

WOW Gratté – medium-weight brushed yarn for modern and comfortable garments

At Lanas Maite, it won us over from the very first ball: Katia WOW Gratté combines lightness, volume, and a super soft brushed finish that enhances even the simplest stitches. When knitting with it, we feel that garments gain body without being heavy, making it a safe bet for current projects that are enjoyed both on the needles and afterwards, worn.

What we appreciate when knitting with Katia WOW Gratté

We notice a pleasant glide on needles and hooks, a plush texture that provides warmth without excess, and a wide palette that adapts to basic or trendy styles. We particularly like that, with simple constructions, the brushed yarn Katia WOW Gratté already provides presence and a very modern look, ideal if you are looking for eye-catching results without complications.

• It is worked with 4.5–5 mm needles or 5.5–6 mm crochet hooks, a comfortable range for fast progress.
• The brushed effect adds volume and softness with a very pleasant feel.
• The 80% acrylic / 20% polyamide blend provides lightness, resistance, and easy care, just what we look for in everyday wear.

What projects does it excel in?

When we tried it in the store, we saw that it performs especially well in:

• Sweaters with a relaxed silhouette and light drape.
• Loose jackets that require texture without losing movement.
• Accessories (cowls, scarves, hats) where the brushed finish shines brightest.
