Founded in 1946, Lanar has been at the heart of Milan’s knitting and crochet community for generations. Known for producing their own fine Italian yarns in a dazzling range of colours and fibres, the Lanar Emporio has become a landmark for knitters visiting the Porta Venezia district. Over the decades, Lanar has grown from a humble yarn producer into a creative hub where people come not only to shop for beautiful yarns and accessories, but also to learn and share their craft. Their workshops cover everything from the basics of casting on and simple stitches to advanced finishing, garment shaping and weaving. What sets Lanar apart is their belief that knitting is more than a technique – it is a joyful creative practice that connects people.

We’ve been producing fine yarns in Italy since 1946, and every course we offer is designed to rediscover how knitting is not only about technique, but also creative joy.
