JASMINE by RiGo is an exceptionally fine Italian extrafine merino yarn, spun to a precise lace count with a smooth, clean hand and refined stitch definition. Light, elegant, and beautifully balanced, this yarn is designed as a true building yarn — meant to be held in multiple strands so you can control thickness, density, and drape with precision.
With its even spin and stable structure, JASMINE produces a polished fabric that responds beautifully to washing and blocking, making it ideal for elevated garments and timeless knitwear with a clean, sophisticated finish.
