VIMAR 1991 Chanel Style is a rare luxury Italian paillettes yarn from VIMAR 1991, the prestigious fancy-yarn manufacturer acquired by Chanel in 2020. Made with a silky 70% viscose base, elegant lurex, and tiny integrated 1 mm paillettes, this extra-fine yarn creates refined sparkle, movement, and couture-style texture for luxury knitwear, weaving, crochet, and designer companion-yarn projects.

With approximately 2000m per 100g, a small amount goes a very long way. Just one strand held with merino, cashmere, alpaca, silk, cotton, linen, or bouclé can transform simple fabric into a Chanel-style luxury textile with depth, drape, and elegant shine.

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.
