LEGEND 70 is an exceptionally soft luxury Italian cashmere merino yarn with an elegant featherlight feel and extraordinary warmth without heaviness. This refined lace weight yarn creates timeless sweaters, shawls, scarves, and heirloom knitwear with beautiful drape, softness, and a sophisticated high-end finish. Unlike many ultra-fine lace yarns, this blend becomes incredibly wearable and practical when worked in multiple strands, making it ideal for knitters who want true luxury yarn for real garments — not just delicate display pieces.

The high cashmere content creates softness, warmth, and that unmistakable quiet luxury feel, while fine merino wool adds elasticity, structure, durability, and better shape retention. The result is fabric that feels elegant, refined, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable against the skin while still being practical enough for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and long-term wearable knitwear.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
LEGEND 70 offers the perfect balance between luxury softness and real-world wearability. Many ultra-fine luxury lace yarns are beautiful but difficult to use for practical garments. This blend solves that problem beautifully.

Cashmere gives the yarn extraordinary softness, warmth, and elegance, while merino wool improves elasticity, resilience, and garment stability. The result is refined fabric that still feels wearable, practical, breathable, and comfortable.

This is exactly the type of yarn used for understated luxury knitwear — soft, elegant, sophisticated fabric without excessive bulk or heaviness.

Because the yarn is extremely fine, you also gain full control over the final fabric through strand count. You can create airy lightweight garments, soft sweaters, warm winter knits, shawls, scarves, or elegant layered fabrics simply by adjusting how many strands you hold together.

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.
