➤ My First Impressions
Although I haven't had the opportunity to knit with CABLE 8MG yet, I have worked with many Sesia yarns over the years, and they have consistently impressed me with their outstanding quality. Sesia has been producing premium Italian yarns for more than 50 years, and this cotton immediately gives me the same confidence.

The first thing I noticed is how incredibly smooth, stable, and evenly spun the strand feels. It has the unmistakable character of a true mercerized cotton cable thread—clean, refined, and beautifully consistent. There is virtually no surface fuzz, and the elegant natural sheen comes from the mercerization process rather than synthetic fibers.

Based on my experience with Sesia yarns, I expect this cotton to produce excellent stitch definition and durable garments that maintain their beautiful appearance over time. It feels like the kind of yarn that experienced knitters appreciate the moment they hold it in their hands.

One of the things I like most is its versatility. It can be knitted as a single strand for delicate lace projects or held together in multiple strands to create virtually any yarn weight while preserving the crisp stitch definition that mercerized cotton is known for.

I highly recommend this yarn to anyone looking for a premium-quality Italian cotton for knitting, crochet, machine knitting, or weaving. It has all the characteristics I look for in a luxury mercerized cotton: beautiful structure, exceptional consistency, and the craftsmanship that Sesia is well known for.

✧ Tips & Recommendations:
This yarn is incredibly versatile. Knit or crochet with a single strand for delicate lace or hold multiple strands together to achieve your desired yarn weight. Its smooth structure beautifully showcases lace patterns, textured stitches, cables, and crochet motifs while pairing exceptionally well with silk, linen, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair.

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.
