📍 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.

✨ Texture & Feel:
This yarn is distinguished by its Micro Bouclé texture, where the Extrafine Merino is spun around a fine Polyamide core, creating tiny loops that result in a beautiful, soft, fluffy halo and a cashmere-like hand. The Merino ensures incredible softness, while the Polyamide structure makes the yarn surprisingly durable and extremely lightweight.

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
Due to its fineness, this yarn is generally used with multiple strands, or held together with a companion yarn, to create a wearable fabric. The bouclé structure is maximized after washing, where the fibers bloom to increase the halo and reveal the yarn's full, plush softness.

🧶 Recommended Use:
This fine yarn is perfect for adding warmth and a luxury finish to any project.
• Halo Effect: Ideal for holding alongside a standard yarn (e.g., silk, cotton, or basic wool) to instantly add a fluffy texture, softness, and a beautiful halo.
• Garments: Excellent for lightweight sweaters, delicate shawls, and garments that require an ethereal, lofty texture.
• Baby & Kids Wear: The high content of Extrafine Merino makes it a soft choice for knitwear for sensitive skin.
• Machine Knitting: Excellent for machine knitting due to its smooth construction.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
• This yarn is most effectively used when held with other strands to create a working weight:
• 3 Threads: Creates a Fingering weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 400m (437yd) per 100g.
• 4 Threads: Creates a Sport weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 300m (328yd) per 100g.
• 5 Threads: Creates a Light DK weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 240m (262yd) per 100g.

🧶Recommendations for Weaving:
The inherent strength from the Polyamide core makes this yarn suitable for warp in light fabrics, though it is best used as a weft where its fluffy texture and luxurious halo can be maximized.

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on 3-Ply Knitting):
• For knitting with three threads (creating a Fingering weight), we recommend 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4) needles. The general gauge is 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (2.5mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (3.5mm) for a softer, loftier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4).

📏 Estimated Usage (Based on 3-Ply Fingering Knit):
• Sweater (M): 350–450g (1200–1600m / 1312–1750 yd)
• Shawl: 100–150g (1200–1800m / 1312–1968 yd)
• Scarf: 100g (1200m / 1312 yd)

📍 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

📍 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.
