Experience 100% Cashmere yarn by LORO PIANA, made in Italy and exceptionally fine at 1350m/100g (1476y/3.52oz). This luxury Lace Weight Cashmere offers remarkable freedom: knit it fine and lightweight, hold multiple strands together to create your preferred yarn weight, or use it as a companion yarn to bring pure Cashmere softness and warmth to another favorite fiber.
Its fine 2-ply construction makes it especially versatile for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, accessories, fine-gauge knitting, weaving, and luxury fiber blends. Rather than limiting you to one predetermined yarn weight, this Cashmere allows you to build the fabric you want—from delicate and airy to warm and substantial.

➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT
Because this Cashmere is exceptionally fine, it is an excellent companion yarn when you want to introduce Cashmere softness and warmth without overwhelming the original yarn.
Natural Fibers
• Merino — adds elasticity and structure while keeping the fabric exceptionally soft
• Silk — creates a smooth, elegant Cashmere-Silk combination with additional drape
• Baby Alpaca — adds halo and additional warmth
• Mohair — creates a lighter, airy surface with additional halo
• Linen — combines Cashmere softness with Linen's crisp structure and drape
Recommended Pairings Available at iDOKNiT
• CASHWOOL by Zegna Baruffa — Extrafine Merino for a classic soft Cashmere-Merino fabric
• HARMONY by Tollegno / Lana Gatto — fine Extrafine Merino for softness and elasticity
• SOFIA by PROFILO — Baby Alpaca and Merino for additional warmth and halo
• MICIO by NEW MILL — Cashmere and Silk for an exceptionally soft, fluffy luxury combination
• QUARANTALINO by Toscano — ultra-fine Linen for a lightweight and sophisticated Cashmere-Linen fabric
My Recommendation: Don't let the extremely fine appearance of this yarn limit your ideas. Its 1350m/100g meterage is what makes it so versatile. Hold several strands together for a 100% Cashmere sweater in your preferred weight, or add one or more strands to another fine yarn to introduce Cashmere softness and warmth while preserving the character of the companion fiber.
⫯ Weaving Suitability
Excellent for fine luxury weaving, scarves, wraps, lightweight fabrics, and other projects where Cashmere warmth and softness are desired without excessive weight. For warp use, test first under your particular loom tension and abrasion conditions.
⟳ Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cool water with Cashmere- or wool-safe detergent
• Do not rub, wring, or aggressively agitate
• Gently press excess water out with a towel
• Reshape and lay flat to dry
• Avoid excessive heat
• Always wet-block a test swatch to evaluate the finished texture and gauge
Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)
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 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.
