🎨 Color and Texture Note
All shades of this Sherwood yarn feature a refined flamé effect — a subtle variation in thickness that imparts a soft, organic texture and graceful dimension to the fiber.
- The GREY SUEDE TWEED and DARK COFFEE TWEED tones display warm coffee undertones and a timeless TWEED character, enriched with fine colored flecks delicately spun throughout the yarn.
- The GREY FLAME BOUCLE tone, in contrast, is a smooth solid shade, offering a clean, elegant look with understated refinement.

✨ Texture & Feel:
The high percentage of cashmere imparts a truly luxurious, soft hand-feel that is exceptionally warm and lightweight. The Flame Boucle structure provides a subtle, engaging texture with delicate loops, eliminating the need for complex stitch patterns. The Polyamide secures the boucle loops, ensuring a resilient fabric that is soft, dimensional, and utterly comfortable.

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
Working with this Biagioli Modesto blend is a pleasure—it feels incredibly soft and sophisticated. Given its high yardage, it is a versatile yarn that can be used for delicate lace-weight projects or held double/triple to achieve a fast-working garment with plush, cashmere comfort. This yarn is designed for heirloom projects.

🧶 Recommended Use:
The versatility of this yarn allows for a wide range of elegant projects.
• Single Strand (Lace Weight): Ideal for delicate shawls, airy scarves, and fine-gauge garments where the boucle texture provides subtle interest.
• Multi-Strand (Fingering/DK): Perfect for cozy, structured sweaters, cardigans, and accessories where warmth and supreme softness are key.
• Stitch Patterns: The Flame Boucle texture is best showcased with simple stitch patterns like stockinette or garter, allowing the dimension and color to be the focus.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
This yarn works perfectly when held with multiple strands to achieve a heavier weight:
• 2 Threads: Creates a Light Fingering/Fingering weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 335m(366yd) per 100g.
• 3 Threads: Creates a Sport/Light DK weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 223m(244yd) per 100g.

🧶Recommendations for Weaving:
This yarn is highly recommended for both warp and weft. It possesses sufficient strength for a moderate warp, while its superior softness and boucle texture make it an excellent choice for a luxurious weft in scarves, throws, and garments, adding rich dimension to woven fabric.

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on 3-Ply Knitting - Creating Sport/Light DK Weight):
• For knitting with three threads (creating a Sport/Light DK weight), we recommend 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4) needles. The general gauge is 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (2.5mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (3.5mm) for a softer, loftier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4).

📏 Estimated Usage:
• Fine Shawl (Single Strand): 100–150g(670–1005m/733–1099 yd)
• Sweater (3-Ply Sport/DK): 300–500g(670–1115m/733–1219 yd)

📍Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water with a specialized cashmere or wool detergent.
• Reshape and lay flat to dry.
• Do not wring, twist, or tumble dry.

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.
