A refined Italian tweed lace yarn with quiet depth and understated luxury — MALFILE TWEED by Cariaggi blends smooth merino with a touch of cashmere, creating an elegant extra-fine yarn with subtle tweed character. Designed for multi-strand work, this yarn allows precise control over fabric weight, drape, and warmth.

• Article: MALFILE TWEED
• Fiber Content: 95% Merino Wool, 5% Cashmere
• Yarn Weight: Lace (2-ply)
• Yarn Count: Nm 2/13000

▣ Texture & Feel
Lightweight, smooth, and softly structured, with delicate tweed flecks distributed evenly through the yarn. Merino provides elasticity and comfort, while cashmere adds a refined softness. After washing, the fabric blooms gently, enhancing stitch definition and texture.

▣ Knitting Notes
This is an extra-fine lace yarn and is not intended for single-strand knitting.
Best results are achieved in multiple strands:

• Hand knitting: start with 3–5 strands
• Machine knitting: 2–4 strands, depending on gauge

⌁ Multi-strand use allows precise adjustment of density, drape, and warmth.

⌁ Always swatch to fine-tune strand count and fabric behavior.

▣ Blending Recommendations
MALFILE TWEED works beautifully as a base or companion strand:

• Blend with silk for added drape and sheen
• Pair with mohair/silk for halo and volume
• Combine with cashmere to increase softness
• Hold with alpaca for extra warmth
• Blend with smooth merino to enhance structure

▣ Needles & Hooks (multi-strand)
• Knitting needles: 3.5–5.0 mm (US 4–8), depending on strand count
• Crochet hooks: 3.0–4.5 mm

▣ Weaving Recommendations
Suitable as weft in multi-strand form. For warp use, pair with a stronger support yarn to maintain tension.

▣ Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cool water
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry
• Washing enhances softness and stitch definition

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.
