2026, 4-ply loose wool hanks (commonly called "lacha" in India) are a staple for hand-knitting, crochet, and decorative fiber arts like macrame. They are sold in continuous looped bundles (hanks) that must be wound into balls before use to prevent tangling.
Technical Specifications
Thickness: Generally 1.5mm to 2mm.
Structure: Consists of four individual strands twisted together to create a durable, uniform thread.
Weight & Length:
Standard Hank: Typically weighs 100g and contains approximately 240 to 250 meters of yarn.
Bulk/Packs: Often sold in 200g or 400g bundles containing multiple hanks.
Recommended Tools: Best suited for UK 9 or 10 (3.25mm to 3.75mm) knitting needles or crochet hooks.
Common Materials & Properties
100% Acrylic/Acrylic Blends: The most common variety for "lacha" forms. These are machine washable, breathable, and "baby soft," making them ideal for sensitive skin.
Pure Indian Wool: Offered by specialty suppliers like YarnKart, these hanks are prized for natural warmth and elasticity.
Mercerized Cotton: Some hanks use 4-ply cotton, which features a higher luster and is preferred for summer garments or home decor.
