Discover FOLLOW by Prisma Ricerche, an exquisite Italian yarn made from 65% cashmere and 35% silk, featuring a beautifully brushed cashmere finish. Unlike traditional smooth cashmere-silk yarns, its fine fibers are gently raised to create a soft, airy halo and a delicate, cloud-like texture. The result is a luxurious yarn that combines cashmere's warmth and softness with silk's elegant drape and subtle luminosity.
With an extraordinary 2000 meters per 100 grams, FOLLOW offers the beauty of brushed cashmere without the weight of a heavier yarn. Use it alongside smooth yarns to add a delicate, sophisticated halo, or combine several strands for soft, lightweight sweaters and cardigans. Its brushed texture makes it particularly appealing for modern luxury knitwear inspired by the understated elegance of Italian fashion.

⚑ 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.
