The extraordinary softness of Cashmere meets the beautiful elegance of Silk — an exquisite Italian luxury yarn by Loro Piana!
Discover ROYAL by LORO PIANA, a remarkably fine blend of 70% Cashmere and 30% Silk in a beautiful Light Royal Blue. Cashmere brings its signature softness and gentle warmth, while silk adds a smooth, refined touch and elegant drape. Together, these exceptional fibers create a luxurious combination for delicate knitwear and sophisticated layering pieces.
At an incredible 2900 meters per 100 grams, ROYAL is all about creative possibilities! Its ultra-fine 2-ply construction allows you to build your preferred thickness by holding multiple strands together or combining it with other luxury fibers. Imagine a featherlight cashmere-silk shawl, an elegant sweater with a subtle sheen, or a beautifully soft fabric paired with fine merino or mohair.

⚑ 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.
