LAVINIA is an exceptionally refined Italian yarn manufactured by Filati Power in Italy, created from a luxurious blend of merino and cashmere. This extra-fine yarn combines the softness and quiet elegance of cashmere with the elasticity, breathability, and everyday wearability of merino, resulting in a beautifully balanced base for sophisticated knitwear.

Because LAVINIA is spun in a very fine Nm 2/28 construction, it offers excellent flexibility for makers who like to control the final fabric through strand count. Worked in multiple strands, it creates lightweight yet comforting fabrics with a soft hand, graceful movement, and a timeless luxury feel. It is especially suitable for elegant sweaters, refined accessories, shawls, and elevated everyday knitwear.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
LAVINIA offers the rare balance of softness, practicality, and versatility. The cashmere brings gentle luxury and delicate warmth, while the merino provides resilience, breathability, and structure. Together, they create a yarn that feels elevated without being fragile and comfortable without looking ordinary.

Its extra-fine construction makes it especially attractive for makers who want to build their own fabric intentionally. By adjusting the number of strands, you can create anything from delicate lightweight pieces to fuller, more practical knitwear with body and warmth.

⌁ Texture & Feel
• Soft and refined
• Light, airy, and elegant
• Comfortable against the skin
• Gentle matte-luxury finish rather than strong shine
• Breathable and warm without heaviness
• Softens even more after washing and blocking

✧ Luxury Fiber Profile — Merino & Cashmere
This blend combines two of the most loved fibers in fine knitwear.

Cashmere adds:
• Exceptional softness
• Gentle warmth
• A luxurious hand feel
• Elegant lightness

Merino adds:
• Elasticity and recovery
• Breathability
• Better structure in fabric
• Everyday comfort and wearability

Together, they create a yarn that feels soft and refined, yet more practical and versatile than pure cashmere alone. This makes LAVINIA an excellent choice for garments and accessories that are meant to be both beautiful and wearable.

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
• Single-strand hand knitting: generally not recommended for most projects
• 2 strands: still very fine and usually better for delicate fabrics, fine accessories, crochet, or machine knitting
• 3 strands: suitable for delicate, lightweight pieces
• 4–5 strands: a more realistic starting range for comfortable hand knitting
• 5–6 strands: often better for sweaters, cardigans, and more practical everyday knitwear

⋔ Recommended Yarn Usage
• Lace shawls and wraps: approx. 120–200 g
• Lightweight tops and layering pieces: approx. 180–280 g
• Sweaters and pullovers: approx. 300–450 g
• Cardigans: approx. 350–500 g
• Accessories and scarves: approx. 80–150 g

➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT
LAVINIA is an ideal luxury base yarn for custom blending.

Mohair on Silk
Adds halo, lightness, and a dreamy surface for sweaters, shawls, and layering pieces.

Fine Silk Yarns
Enhance drape and give the finished fabric a more fluid, elegant character.

Yak Blends
Add warmth and beautiful tonal depth while preserving softness.

Fine Merino
Allow you to create fuller fabrics for colder-weather knitwear while keeping the finished piece soft and refined.

These combinations make LAVINIA especially appealing to makers who enjoy building unique fabrics and customizing texture, warmth, and overall mood.

⟳ Care Instructions
• Hand wash cold with gentle wool or cashmere detergent
• Do not wring or twist

• Store folded rather than hanging

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.
