GHOST by Lineapiu Italia is an exceptionally soft luxury Italian lace weight yarn blending 35% Baby Alpaca, 40% Merino Wool, and 25% Polyamide into an airy cable-style construction with approximately 520 meters per 100 g. This refined Italian yarn creates lightweight fluffy fabric with warmth, softness, volume, and elegant modern texture while still remaining breathable and wearable.

Unlike dense heavy alpaca yarns, GHOST feels incredibly light and airy. The cable construction traps air inside the fabric, helping garments become fluffy, soft, and warm without excessive weight. The result is modern luxury knitwear with cozy softness, elegant halo, and beautiful movement.

I knitted my sample in one strand using US size 4 needles, and it worked beautifully. The fabric became airy, soft, fluffy, and very wearable even in a single strand. This yarn makes it easy to create lightweight sweaters and cardigans with luxurious texture in surprisingly little time.

This is exactly the kind of modern Italian designer yarn used for elevated cozy knitwear with softness, volume, and effortless luxury.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
GHOST combines baby alpaca softness, merino elasticity, and airy cable construction in a way that creates fabric with exceptional comfort and modern luxury appeal.

The baby alpaca adds softness, warmth, and gentle halo, while merino wool improves elasticity, resilience, and overall wearability. The polyamide stabilizes the airy structure and helps maintain durability without taking away softness.

Unlike many fluffy yarns that become heavy or oversized, GHOST remains breathable, lightweight, and elegant while still producing beautiful volume and softness.

The cable construction is especially important because it creates loft and fluffiness without requiring thick heavy yarn. This allows garments to feel warm, modern, and cozy while still remaining surprisingly light.

This yarn is especially attractive for knitters who love fluffy sweaters, modern cardigans, airy layering garments, cozy shawls, and elegant relaxed silhouettes.

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. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.

PLEASE 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.
