A beautifully airy, ultra-light sport-weight yarn crafted from Baby Alpaca and Silk. Soffio di Seta embodies Italian refinement — soft, cloud-like, and elegant. With its gentle drape and corded construction, this yarn transforms into luxurious, modern knitwear that feels weightless, warm, and beautifully textured.

✨ Texture & Feel
Exceptionally soft, lightweight, and cloud-like — this yarn feels luxuriously gentle against the skin. The thread is a knitted silk-based cord filled with baby alpaca, giving it both airiness and structure. Because of its corded construction, the yarn behaves fuller than the yardage suggests, blooming beautifully after washing and creating a soft, warm, refined finish. Ideal for pieces where you want comfort, elegance, and lightness without bulk.

🧶 Recommended Uses
Perfect for:
• Lightweight sweaters, tops, and layering pieces
• Soft scarves, cowls, and shawls
• Baby items and sensitive-skin projects
• Minimalist garments with gentle drape and warmth

🪡 Recommended Needles & Hooks
This yarn works beautifully starting from a single thread.
• Knitting Needles: 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7)
• Crochet Hook: 3.0–4.0 mm (US C–F)
For loftier, more textured garments, hold two strands together and use 4.5–5.0 mm (US 7–8) needles.

📏 Estimated Yarn Usage (Single Thread – Sport Weight Equivalent)
• Sweater (Size M): 350–450 g (approx. 1100–1450 m / 1200–1580 yd)
• Cardigan or Jacket: 450–600 g (approx. 1450–1900 m / 1580–2080 yd)
• Shawl or Wrap: 200–300 g (approx. 640–950 m / 700–1040 yd)
• Scarf or Cowl: 120–180 g (approx. 380–570 m / 415–620 yd)

🧵 Weaving Recommendations
Excellent as weft for soft, warm fabrics with gentle drape. When held double, it adds volume and warmth to woven textiles. For warp use, pair with stronger fibers such as silk or fine wool for stability. Recommended sett: 8–10 EPI for soft, weft-dominant textures.

📍 Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight

🧶 Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

📍 FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.

📍 FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. PLEACE BUY CONES HERE

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 packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

📍 Please Note

Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

📦 Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
