MANGO by Lana Gatto is a luxury Italian cotton–linen–viscose yarn with approx. 260m per 100g, designed for breathable summer tops, lightweight cardigans, beachwear, and relaxed layering pieces with a soft multicolour effect. This sport-weight yarn offers the perfect balance between structure and drape, creating fabric that feels light, airy, and comfortable in warm weather.

Part of the Summer Yarns 2026 Fashion Collection, MANGO stands out for its soft pastel multicolour palette and natural fiber blend.
