Cashmere Silk Yarn by Exclusive Italian Mill ROYAL 2/58 is an exceptionally refined luxury Italian extra-fine lace yarn made from 70% Cashmere and 30% Silk, with approximately 2900 meters per 100 g. This feather-light couture-grade yarn combines the softness and warmth of cashmere with the elegant sheen, fluidity, and luminous refinement of silk.

The result is a yarn that feels airy, delicate, smooth, and deeply luxurious, with a polished glow rather than a rustic finish. In Light Royal Blue, the yarn has an elegant luminous color presence that feels soft, sophisticated, and elevated without looking overly bright.

ROYAL 2/58 is especially appealing for makers who enjoy building custom fabrics through strand count, blending, machine knitting, weaving, or refined multi-strand hand knitting. Because this yarn is extremely fine, it gives extraordinary flexibility and control over the final fabric.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
ROYAL 2/58 offers the kind of fineness and elegance that makes luxury Italian cone yarns so versatile and desirable.

Cashmere gives the yarn softness, warmth, and a cocooning feel, while silk adds light, drape, fluidity, and a subtle polished glow. Together, they create fabrics that feel refined, modern, elegant, and deeply luxurious.

Because of its ultra-fine construction, this yarn gives the maker complete control over the final fabric. It can become airy and ethereal in multiple strands, more wearable and structured when combined with other fibers, or beautifully precise in machine knitting and weaving.

This is an ideal yarn for makers who value softness, elegance, and textile flexibility rather than a fixed ready-made thickness.

✧ Fiber Profile
• Cashmere: softness, warmth, comfort, and luxury hand feel

• Luxury weaving and textile work
• Held together with mohair/silk, fine merino, cashmere, silk, alpaca, or other lace companions

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. 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 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.
