Introducing CHIARA, a sublime 80/20 Angora blend meticulously crafted by Filcom in Italy. Sourced from the exquisite fur of the Angora rabbit, this yarn is the epitome of luxury, celebrated for its unparalleled softness, cloud-like fluffiness, and magnificent insulating warmth. The high Angora content delivers a unique halo and exquisite texture, while the Polyamide foundation ensures enhanced structure and durability.

📍 ALL PURCHASED YARN IS WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. HOWEVER, WE CAN WIND IT ONTO CONES UPON REQUEST. THIS IS LIMITED QUANTITY YARN!

📍 YOU CAN BUY CONES HERE

📍 CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE.
Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
This is an exceptional yarn for creating heirloom-quality pieces. The natural fluffiness of the Angora is truly revealed after a gentle wash, creating a luxurious cloud-like fabric that is incredibly soft to the touch.

🧶 Recommended Use:
This luxury Sport Weight yarn offers extraordinary warmth and a distinct texture.
• Garments: Ideal for cozy yet elegant sweaters, soft cardigans, and vests where the signature Angora fluffiness is desired.
• Accessories: Excellent for knitting luxurious scarves, cowls, and hats.
• Companion Yarn: Can be held with a fine silk or merino thread to increase volume and create a heavier gauge.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
• This yarn is used in a single thread for Sport Weight, but can be doubled for a heavier gauge:
• 2 Threads: Creates a DK/Light Worsted weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 225m (246yd) per 100g.

🧶Recommendations for Weaving:
This yarn is primarily recommended for weft in woven fabrics. Its luxurious softness, halo, and warmth make it an ideal choice for high-end accessories like scarves and shawls, lending an exquisite texture to the cloth.

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on Single-Thread Knitting):
• For knitting with one thread (creating a Sport weight), we recommend 3.5–4.0 mm (US 4–6) needles. The general gauge is 24–26 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (3.5mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (4.0mm) for a softer, fluffier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 3.5–4.0 mm (E-4 to G-6).

📏 Estimated Usage (Based on Single-Thread Sport Knit):
• Sweater (M): 400–500g (1800–2250m / 1972–2465 yd)
• Shawl: 150–250g (675–1125m / 739–1232 yd)
• Scarf: 100–150g (450–675m / 493–739 yd)

📍 Care Instructions:
•  Hand Wash, cold max 30C / 86F. 
• Don't use fabric softener.
• Do not wring or twist.
• Dry Flat.

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📸 Please Note:
• The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
