A rare designer yarn with a couture twist ✨ — Fine cotton with a whisper of stretch, made for FENDI’s Donna capsule collection 2024. Ultra-fine and elegant, with subtle “shishibriki” texture knots and a dry, contemporary feel.

📍 YARN WILL BE WOUND ON ONE CONE PER COLOR FOR THE PURCHASED WEIGHT

🧶 Product Specifications:
• Manufacturer: ILARIA S.R.L., Italy
• Article: CORSAIR
• Fiber Content: 97% Cotton, 3% Polyamide (Elastane or Spandex)
• Yarn Weight: Lace
• Yarn Count: Nm 16000
• Yardage: 1600 meters / 100g (1749 yards / 3.52 oz)
It features tiny decorative knots (known as “shishibriki”) every inch and has a subtle rubbery stretch due to the elastane. Not suitable for single-strand use—it is designed to be held double or in multiples, or blended with other yarns to achieve that rich, modern tweed effect.

✨ Texture & Feel:
• Dry, crisp, and airy with a fine-grain feel
• Light bounce and tension from elastane
• Knotted texture adds couture-style surface detail
• Slight stretch with a refined matte look

🧶 Recommended Uses:
• Blended tweed-effect garments
• Structured scarves, vests, and cardigans
• Designer-style layering fabrics
• Lightweight summer pieces with texture

🧷 Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• DO NOT use as a single strand
• Hold 4–5 strands together or blend with other yarns
• Suggested needle size (held together): 3.5mm–5mm
• Works beautifully in textured stitches and structured panels

🧵 Weaving Suitability:
• Best used in weft or as an accent in warp
• Combine with smoother fibers for balance
• Knotting creates visual depth when woven densely

📏 Recommended Yarn Usage (Held Together):
• Short-sleeve top – 250–300g
• Sweater – 350–450g
• Shawl or wrap – 150–200g
• Lightweight cardigan – 400–500g

🧪 Blending Possibilities:
• Pair with wool or cashmere to create structured softness
• Mix with silk or viscose for subtle sheen and movement
• Combine with mohair for added halo and weight
• Use in marled or textured projects to add couture character

💡 Helpful Notes:
• Not intended for use as a single strand
• Pre-washing swatches is highly recommended—yarn softens and opens up
• Perfect for those who love experimentation and fashion-forward design
• Works beautifully in held-together colorwork or dimensional stitchwork

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

Formats: Cones ONLY

⚑ FOR YARN AVAILABLE ON CONES ONLY AND SOLD IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, each color is wound on a single cone by default.
This yarn is supplied on a single cone only.
Multiple quantities of the same color will be wound onto one continuous cone, without splitting or layering.
If you prefer the same color split across multiple cones, additional cones may be purchased separately HERE

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.
