The beautiful Vino Melange shade blends wine, berry, plum, and burgundy tones into a luxurious heathered color that gives finished garments remarkable depth and elegance. Combined with 85% Merino Wool and 15% Cashmere, this Italian lace-weight yarn creates soft, lightweight fabric with gentle halo, beautiful drape, and the kind of comfort that makes you reach for the same sweater again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eOne of the things I love most about SIRIO is its versatility. Hold four strands together and it becomes a beautiful sport-weight yarn for sweaters and cardigans. Use it as a companion yarn and it instantly adds softness, warmth, and a more luxurious finish to another fiber. After washing, the fabric becomes noticeably softer and develops the relaxed, refined character that knitters love in premium Italian cashmere blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003e▣ Product Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Manufacturer: PROFILO, Italy\u003cbr\u003e• Article: SIRIO\u003cbr\u003e• Fiber Content: 85% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Category: Lace Weight\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Structure: Carded\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Count: Nm 1\/15000\u003cbr\u003e• Yardage: approximately 1500m \/ 1640yd per 100g (3.52oz)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2022\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1846\"\u003e⌁ Texture \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Extremely soft\u003cbr\u003e• Lightweight warmth\u003cbr\u003e• Gentle halo\u003cbr\u003e• Elegant drape\u003cbr\u003e• Comfortable next to skin\u003cbr\u003e• Airy without feeling fragile\u003cbr\u003e• Soft cashmere touch\u003cbr\u003e• Refined luxury appearance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003e⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2175\"\u003eSIRIO is the type of yarn that earns a permanent place in a knitter's collection because it can do so many things well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eUse it alone in multiple strands and it creates elegant garments with softness, warmth, and beautiful movement.
