Discover the exceptional quality of KENT by ZEGNA BARUFFA, Italy, a refined 100% Extrafine Merino Wool yarn produced by one of Italy's most respected spinning mills. Created using the same premium fiber quality that has made Zegna Baruffa famous worldwide, KENT offers remarkable softness, beautiful elasticity, and elegant stitch definition in a slightly thicker, more versatile construction than traditional lace-weight merino yarns.

Originally developed for luxury knitwear, KENT produces fabrics that are lightweight yet comfortably warm, breathable yet resilient. Its versatile meterage makes it equally suitable for delicate lace projects, multi-strand knitting, weaving, and sophisticated everyday garments that combine exceptional comfort with timeless Italian elegance.

➤ My First Impressions
KENT immediately feels like a premium merino yarn. The strand is beautifully smooth, incredibly soft, and has the gentle elasticity that only high-quality Extrafine Merino can provide. Even before knitting, the yarn feels refined, balanced, and exceptionally pleasant in the hand.

One of the things I appreciate most about KENT is its versatility. While fine enough for elegant lightweight fabrics, it is slightly thicker than many lace-weight merinos, making it easier to work with while still allowing complete flexibility through multi-strand knitting.

For delicate lace fabrics, a single strand creates beautiful lightweight projects. For garments, I recommend beginning with two or three strands, depending on the fabric you would like to achieve. This allows you to create everything from elegant lightweight sweaters to comfortable everyday knitwear simply by adjusting the strand count.

Like all exceptional Extrafine Merino, I expect KENT to soften even further after washing. The stitches relax beautifully, the fabric develops additional fullness, and the natural elasticity of the wool creates garments that remain comfortable and elegant for years.

If you appreciate refined natural fibers, understated luxury, and exceptional Italian craftsmanship, KENT is a yarn that will quickly become a favorite.

✦ Texture & Feel:
Wonderfully soft, smooth, and naturally elastic with the refined hand of premium Extrafine Merino Wool. The fabric feels lightweight, breathable, and comfortable while offering excellent stitch definition, graceful drape, and remarkable resilience.

After washing, the yarn softens beautifully while maintaining its elegant structure, natural elasticity, and luxurious next-to-skin comfort.

If you enjoy timeless Merino quality without unnecessary bulk, KENT creates fabrics that are sophisticated, comfortable, and effortlessly wearable.

➤ Recommended Uses:
Perfect for lightweight sweaters, elegant cardigans, shawls, scarves, wraps, baby garments, children's knitwear, fine textured stitches, lace accessories, layering pieces, weaving, and sophisticated everyday knitwear.

✧ Tips & Recommendations:
One of the greatest advantages of KENT is its versatility. Its meterage allows you to customize the fabric simply by changing the number of strands.

• One strand: Delicate lace fabrics and lightweight accessories
• Two strands: Fine fingering-weight garments
• Three strands: Light fingering to sport-weight fabrics

Stockinette, textured stitches, ribs, cables, and understated lace all beautifully highlight the smooth stitch definition and natural elasticity of this exceptional Merino.

Always knit and wash a swatch before beginning your project to determine the ideal strand count, gauge, and finished fabric.

➤ Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• One strand: Fine lace fabrics
• Two strands: Fine fingering-weight garments
• Three strands: Light fingering to sport-weight garments
• Knitting Needles: Approximately US 1.5–6 (2.5–4.0 mm), depending on strand count
• Crochet Hooks: Approximately 2.0–3.5 mm
• Always make a washed swatch before beginning your project.

➤ Weaving Suitability:
Excellent for weaving. KENT creates lightweight woven fabrics with exceptional softness, elegant drape, and beautiful resilience. Multiple ends may be combined to achieve the desired fabric weight, making it ideal for scarves, shawls, apparel fabrics, and refined home textiles. Sampling and wet finishing are recommended to reveal the yarn's full beauty.

⋔ Recommended Yarn Usage:
Approximate requirements when knitted with approximately two to three strands:

• Shawl or Wrap: 100–150g
• Sweater (M): 300–400g
• Lightweight Cardigan: 350–450g
• Scarf or Cowl: 100–150g
• Baby Sweater: 100–150g
• Baby Blanket: 250–350g

Actual yarn requirements will vary depending on garment size, stitch pattern, gauge, strand count, and desired fabric density.

➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT:
One of KENT's greatest strengths is how beautifully it pairs with other luxury fibers. Its soft Extrafine Merino adds elasticity, warmth, and beautiful stitch definition while allowing companion yarns to enhance the final fabric.

Natural Fibers
• Mulberry Silk – Adds elegant drape and luxurious sheen.
• Linen – Creates breathable garments with beautiful natural texture.
• Cashmere – Produces exceptionally soft luxury knitwear.
• Kid Mohair – Adds an ethereal halo and remarkable lightness.
• Cotton – Creates comfortable year-round garments with balanced structure.

Recommended Pairings Available at iDOKNiT
• LORO PIANA EXODUS – Adds luxurious Mulberry Silk and exceptional drape.
• LORO PIANA SHANTUNG JASPÉ – Creates sophisticated designer fabrics with remarkable texture.
• SEA CASHMERE by IAFIL SPA – Adds breathable softness for lightweight transitional garments.
• SAINT TROPEZ by Ri.Go – Introduces elegant linen texture and subtle sparkle.

My Recommendation: KENT is beautiful enough to knit on its own, but it also makes an exceptional companion yarn. Try holding one strand together with silk, linen, cashmere, or mohair to create fabrics with remarkable softness, elegant drape, and timeless Italian luxury.

⟳ Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-safe detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Gently press excess water out with a towel
• Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
• Reshape while damp
• After washing, the Extrafine Merino softens beautifully while maintaining its natural elasticity, elegant stitch definition, and luxurious next-to-skin comfort.

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.
