Cashmere 100% Yarn, COARSEHAIR 2/11, Luxury Italian Yarn by Loro Piana, Available in Balls and on Cones, 550m/100g (602y/3.52oz)

LOHeritage Luxury, Sublime Softness: Presenting the highly sought-after COARSEHAIR yarn from the legendary Loro Piana, Italy. This is a rare 100% Cashmere yarn characterized as Non-Combed (Art. 2/11), resulting in a slightly firmer, more resilient hand than typical fine cashmere before washing. Once finished, it transforms into an exquisitely soft, lofty, and enduring fabric.

📍 ALL PURCHASED YARN IS WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. HOWEVER, WE CAN WIND IT ONTO CONES UPON REQUEST. THIS IS LIMITED QUANTITY YARN!

📍 YOU CAN BUY CONES HERE

📍 CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE.
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 the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

✨ Texture & Feel:
As a Non-Combed cashmere, this yarn possesses a unique, slightly crisp handle that promises incredible bloom and softness after the first wash. The result is a cloud-soft, highly insulating, and lightweight fabric characteristic of high-quality Loro Piana cashmere.

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
This is genuine Loro Piana luxury. Because it is non-combed, it is essential to wash your finished garment to fully realize the fiber’s true softness, loft, and warmth. This makes it an ideal choice for durable yet luxurious lightweight sweaters, shawls, and garments you want to cherish for years.

🧶 Recommended Use:
Ideal for items where supreme softness, lightweight warmth, and heirloom quality are desired.
• Garments: Fine-gauge sweaters, luxury tunics, and baby clothing.
• Accessories: Delicate shawls, scarves, and soft cowls.
• Versatility: Can be knit on its own or held together with a fine silk/mohair for added texture.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
• 2 Threads: Creates a Sport/Light DK weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 275m(301yd) per 100g.

🧶Recommendations for Weaving:
This 100% Cashmere is an exceptional choice for the weft in luxurious scarves, throws, and soft goods. Its lightness and ability to full after washing will create an incredibly warm and cozy fabric. It can also be used as a low-tension warp when paired with a strong cotton or silk thread.

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on Single-Thread Knitting):
• For knitting with one thread (creating a Light Fingering weight), we recommend 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4) needles. The general gauge is 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (2.5mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (3.5mm) for a softer, loftier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4).

📏 Estimated Usage:
• Fine Shawl (Single Strand): 100–150g
• Sweater (Single Strand): 300–450g

📍Care Instructions:
• Gentle hand wash with cold water using a specialized cashmere detergent.
• Lay flat to dry; do not twist or hang.
• Full softness is achieved upon washing.

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📸 Please Note:
• The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
