A delicate Italian yarn with a hint of sparkle – KIR by Lanificio Dell'Olivo is a lace-weight blend of 80% cotton and 20% nylon, enhanced with 2mm silver paillettes. The thread consists of three microbouclé cotton strands and one nylon strand with sequins spaced about every 15–16 inches (38–40 cm), creating a soft, breathable yarn with subtle shimmer.

📸 Please Note
The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
🎨 Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
📌 ±1–2g variation per 100g is possible due to winding.
✨ Yarn is hand-wound and carefully packed.

📦 Shipping & Order Processing
Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as winding into balls or cones may take additional time and care. To ensure efficient shipping, we may combine multiple orders placed before the initial shipment. Shipping refunds will not be issued for combined orders. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
We ship worldwide, and tracking is provided for every shipment. Local taxes or customs fees (if any) are the responsibility of the buyer.

------------------------

🧶 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. 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 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.
