{"product_id":"filcom-vinicunca-vicuna-silk-yarn-700m","title":"Vicuña Silk Yarn, FILCOM VINICUNCA, Rare Luxury Italian Lace Weight Yarn, Balls or Cones, 700m\/100g","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"146\" data-end=\"528\"\u003eFILCOM VINICUNCA is an exceptionally rare luxury Italian lace yarn made from 20% Vicuña and 80% Mulberry Silk, with approximately 700 meters per 100 g. This extraordinary yarn blends precious vicuña fiber with fine mulberry silk, creating a feather-light, warm, breathable, and deeply refined yarn for luxury knitwear, heirloom accessories, weaving, and rare-fiber textile projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"530\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003eVicuña is often called the “fiber of the gods” and is considered one of the finest natural fibers in the world — finer than cashmere and softer than baby alpaca. Unlike sheep, vicuñas cannot be farmed. They live wild in the high Andes mountains and are protected animals. The fiber can only be collected during the traditional ceremonial gathering called Chaku, where the animals are gently released back into the wild after shearing. Each animal produces only a very small amount of usable fiber, making the global supply extremely limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003ePure vicuña garments are among the most valuable textile pieces in the world and often cost thousands of dollars. Yarns containing real vicuña are rarely available for hand knitting and are usually reserved for couture weaving, luxury mills, and very limited textile production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1724\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFILCOM VINICUNCA is one of those exceptional rare productions. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe yarn is softly carded and intentionally slightly uneven — a natural interaction between airy vicuña down and smooth mulberry silk filament. This irregularity is part of the beauty of the yarn, creating a living surface with depth, softness, and organic elegance rather than a flat machine-perfect thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"2001\"\u003eMulberry silk stabilizes the delicate vicuña fibers, adds durability, and gives a refined sheen while preserving warmth, breathability, and extraordinary softness. After washing, the yarn relaxes and blooms beautifully, producing a soft halo while remaining incredibly light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2031\"\u003e▣ Product Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003e• Manufacturer: FILCOM, Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003e• Article: VINICUNCA\u003cbr data-start=\"2086\" data-end=\"2089\"\u003e• Fiber Content: 20% Vicuña, 80% Mulberry Silk\u003cbr data-start=\"2135\" data-end=\"2138\"\u003e• Yarn Category: Lace Weight \/ Carded Luxury Yarn\u003cbr data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2190\"\u003e• Yarn Count: Nm 2\/14000\u003cbr data-start=\"2214\" data-end=\"2217\"\u003e• Yardage: approx. 700 m \/ 765 yd per 100 g (3.52 oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003cbr data-start=\"2329\" data-end=\"2332\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2358\"\u003e• Availability: Extremely rare and limited — once sold out, cannot be restocked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2717\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2461\"\u003e⌁ Texture \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2464\"\u003e• Feather-light, airy, and warm\u003cbr data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2498\"\u003e• Silky base with delicate vicuña halo\u003cbr data-start=\"2536\" data-end=\"2539\"\u003e• Exceptionally soft and refined\u003cbr data-start=\"2571\" data-end=\"2574\"\u003e• Breathable and naturally thermoregulating\u003cbr data-start=\"2617\" data-end=\"2620\"\u003e• Slightly irregular carded structure with organic texture\u003cbr data-start=\"2678\" data-end=\"2681\"\u003e• Blooms beautifully after washing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2975\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2749\"\u003e⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2749\" data-end=\"2752\"\u003eVINICUNCA is not an ordinary luxury yarn. It contains real vicuña — one of the rarest and most precious natural fibers in the world — blended with mulberry silk for stability, softness, drape, and a refined luminous finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3205\"\u003eThe carded structure gives the yarn a natural, slightly uneven surface that feels alive and very special. Instead of looking flat or overly manufactured, the finished fabric has depth, softness, halo, and quiet organic elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3207\" data-end=\"3491\"\u003eThis yarn is ideal for makers who appreciate rare fibers, subtle luxury, and garments that feel truly unique. It is especially beautiful for lightweight sweaters, shawls, scarves, wraps, heirloom accessories, weaving, and soft layering pieces where the fiber itself becomes the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3493\" data-end=\"3798\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3493\" data-end=\"3512\"\u003e✧ Fiber Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3512\" data-end=\"3515\"\u003e• Vicuña: extremely rare, feather-light, warm, and exceptionally soft\u003cbr data-start=\"3584\" data-end=\"3587\"\u003e• Mulberry Silk: strength, drape, refinement, and subtle sheen\u003cbr data-start=\"3649\" data-end=\"3652\"\u003e• Blend: luxurious warmth, breathability, softness, and elegant movement\u003cbr data-start=\"3724\" data-end=\"3727\"\u003e• Carded structure: organic texture, delicate halo, and natural depth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3800\" data-end=\"4033\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3800\" data-end=\"3828\"\u003e➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3828\" data-end=\"3831\"\u003eI knitted my sample in one strand using US size 3 needles, and I absolutely loved this yarn.
