LHASA by Filcom, Italy is a refined Italian blend combining yak, cashmere, and silk into an exceptionally delicate lace yarn. At 550 meters per 100 grams (Nm 2/11000), this strand is extremely fine and airy, creating lightweight fabric with natural warmth and understated elegance.
Yak adds depth and gentle insulation, cashmere brings softness and a subtle bloom after washing, and silk provides strength with a refined, discreet sheen. The balance of these fibers results in fluid, elegant fabric that feels luxurious yet weightless.
Due to its very fine structure, this yarn is generally worked held double, combined with another yarn, or used for machine knitting. When held together, it creates beautiful softness, warmth, and depth without adding bulk.

⚑ 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.
PLEACE 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 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.
