This Italian fashion yarn from FABIANA FILIPPI is a structured cotton blend yarn designed for makers who want fabric with shape, strength, texture, and a polished designer look. With approximately 400 meters per 100 g, this fingering-weight yarn is especially beautiful for tweed-inspired fabrics, structured coats, hats, bags, crochet projects, and companion-yarn blending.

I personally knitted with this yarn and, even after washing, I would not describe it as a luxury-soft or very drapey yarn. Its real strength is different: it creates a very nice, strong knitted fabric with structure and body. That makes it perfect for projects where you want the finished piece to look more like real fashion fabric — structured, textured, and intentional — rather than soft flowing knitwear.

The cotton gives breathability and stitch definition, while polyester helps with stability, durability, and shape retention. This is a great yarn for creating modern fabric-like knitwear, especially Chanel-inspired and tweed-style effects when paired with other yarns.

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.
