Cashmere Yarn by Exclusive Italian Mill CABLELIGHT is a rare luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 100% Cashmere, with approximately 667 meters per 100 g. This refined Italian yarn combines featherlight softness, elegant loft, warmth, and extraordinary bloom in a practical lace-weight construction that is significantly easier to work with than ultra-fine industrial cashmere yarns.

CABLELIGHT creates soft, airy, luxurious fabric with beautiful drape and a delicate natural halo that becomes even more noticeable after washing and blocking. The yarn feels light and breathable while still providing the unmistakable warmth and comfort of pure cashmere.

This is exactly the kind of yarn associated with heirloom-quality knitwear, understated luxury, and refined Italian cashmere textiles.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
CABLELIGHT stands out because it offers the luxury softness of pure cashmere in a much more practical and approachable count than ultra-fine lace cashmere yarns.

The Nm 3/20 construction gives the yarn more body and easier handling while still preserving the delicate airy elegance expected from luxury Italian cashmere. It creates refined fabrics with softness, warmth, drape, and elegant bloom without feeling overly fragile.

Unlike many extremely fine industrial cashmere yarns that require many strands to become usable, CABLELIGHT works beautifully in single, double, or triple strands depending on the desired project.

After washing and blocking, the yarn blooms beautifully, becoming softer, fuller, and even more luxurious. The resulting fabric feels cozy yet refined — ideal for timeless garments and accessories designed to last for years.

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.
