✨ Texture & Feel
Beautifully natural in character, this yarn carries the organic matte finish of silk with a subtle unevenness that gives depth and personality to every stitch. The touch of cashmere adds delicate softness, making the fabric comfortable and breathable while maintaining an elegant, slightly rustic texture.

🧶 Recommended Uses
Perfect for:
• Lightweight tops, blouses, and cardigans
• Elegant shawls and wraps
• Textured lace projects and transitional knitwear
• Blended knitting with mohair or merino for added body and sheen
• Fine woven scarves and fabric panels

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks
• Knitting Needles: 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4)
• Crochet Hooks: 2.0–3.0 mm (US B–D)
For a softer drape, choose a larger needle; for crisp stitch definition, use smaller sizes.

📏 Estimated Yarn Usage
• Sweater (Size M): 300–400 g (approx. 1650–2200 m / 1800–2400 yd)
• Shawl or Wrap: 150–250 g (approx. 825–1375 m / 900–1500 yd)
• Scarf or Cowl: 100–150 g (approx. 550–825 m / 600–900 yd)

🧵 Weaving Recommendations
An excellent choice for both warp and weft in fine fabrics. Bourette silk provides natural strength, while cashmere softens the structure. Ideal for shawls, scarves, and lightweight decorative textiles. Recommended sett: 14–18 EPI for a smooth drape and visible texture.

📍 Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• 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. 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.

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.
