BABYKID Mohair Yarn, FILATI BE.MI.VA PRESTIGE, Luxury Italian Lace Weight Yarn, Balls or Cones, 2100m/100g

PRESTIGE is an exceptionally fine Italian brushed mohair yarn created for luxury knitwear and fashion production. Made from 50% Babykid Mohair, 14% Merino Wool, and 36% Polyamide, this yarn delivers the softness, halo, and airy elegance that make premium mohair blends so desirable. At approximately 2100 meters per 100 grams, PRESTIGE is an ultra-fine lace yarn designed to add softness, warmth, volume, and a sophisticated halo without adding significant weight.

What makes PRESTIGE especially interesting is its versatility. Used as a companion yarn, it instantly transforms merino, cashmere, silk, alpaca, linen, and cotton yarns, adding softness and a beautiful brushed finish. The high Babykid Mohair content creates a refined halo, while the Merino improves comfort and elasticity. The result is the type of fabric often associated with luxury Italian designer knitwear.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
PRESTIGE is not a traditional hand-knitting yarn intended to be worked in a single strand. At 2100m per 100g, it is an ultra-fine luxury mill yarn designed to be used as a companion yarn or in multiple strands.

A single strand adds softness, halo, warmth, and visual depth to another yarn without significantly changing gauge or fabric weight. This makes PRESTIGE one of the easiest ways to elevate a project and achieve the soft-focus appearance commonly seen in luxury designer knitwear.

The combination of Babykid Mohair and Merino creates a more refined halo than many standard mohair yarns, while the polyamide core provides stability and durability.
