Cotton Fantasy Cocoon Effect Yarn, CACCIUCCO, Premium Italian Yarn by New Mill, Available in Balls and on Cone, DK Weight, 230m/100g (251y/2.52oz)

A rare Italian yarn with artisanal charm ✨ – CACCIUCCO by New Mill, Italy is a unique DK-weight yarn where two strands of soft white cotton are wrapped with a single blue polyamide thread in an uneven rhythm. At regular intervals, the blue thread winds loosely, and then about every inch it tightens dramatically, forming small cocoon-like clusters.

This unusual structure creates an airy, marine-inspired effect—reminiscent of sea freshness, blue waters, and seashell textures. Light, textured, and full of character, this yarn is perfect for those who love fibers with a story.

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

THIS IS LIMITED QUANTITY YARN!

📍 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.
