JAIPUR by CARIAGGI is an extraordinary luxury Italian lace yarn made from 70% Cashmere and 30% Silk — an ultra-fine fashion-quality blend designed for the most refined knitwear, weaving, and luxury textile projects. With an exceptional 2800 meters per 100 g, this yarn creates fabric with incredible softness, elegant drape, delicate warmth, and a polished couture-quality appearance that feels almost weightless in finished garments.

This is the type of yarn used by high-end European fashion houses and luxury knitwear manufacturers where softness, elegance, and refined fabric behavior matter more than bulk. The high cashmere content creates a beautifully soft hand feel and gentle warmth, while silk adds strength, subtle sheen, fluid movement, and elegant drape.

Despite the extremely fine meterage, JAIPUR is remarkably versatile. It works beautifully held together with other yarns, in multiple strands, for machine knitting, weaving, lace knitting, and ultra-lightweight garments with a sophisticated luxury finish.

CARIAGGI is internationally recognized as one of the world’s premier luxury cashmere spinning mills, supplying yarns to many of the most prestigious fashion houses in Italy and worldwide.

⚑ FOR YARN AVAILABLE ON CONES ONLY AND SOLD IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, each color is wound on a single cone by default.
This yarn is supplied on a single cone only.
Multiple quantities of the same color will be wound onto one continuous cone, without splitting or layering.
If you prefer the same color split across multiple cones, additional cones may be purchased separately HERE

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.
