➤ My First Impressions
Although I haven't knitted with this particular article yet, I have worked with many luxury yarns from BIAGIOLI MODESTO, and their quality has always been outstanding. Knowing the reputation of this Italian spinning mill, I am confident this yarn belongs to the same exceptional standard.

The first thing that impressed me was its incredibly deep, rich black color. It has a true luxury appearance that immediately stands out. The yarn feels refined and slightly dry to the touch, which is exactly what I expect from a premium merino-rich spinning yarn before washing.

From my experience with similar luxury fibers, I expect this yarn to transform beautifully after its first wash. The merino will relax, the fabric will soften, and the cashmere will bloom, developing a delicate halo that gives finished garments the elegant appearance normally associated with much higher cashmere content.

If you've always wanted to knit with cashmere but aren't ready to invest in 100% cashmere, I highly recommend this yarn. CASHMERE 10 offers an outstanding balance of luxury, softness, durability, and value, making it possible to create extraordinary knitwear while staying within your budget.

✦ Texture & Feel:
Smooth, refined, and beautifully balanced. Premium merino provides elasticity, durability, and excellent stitch definition, while cashmere contributes luxurious softness and a delicate halo that becomes even more beautiful after washing. The finished fabric is lightweight, warm, breathable, and wonderfully comfortable against the skin.

➤ Recommended Uses:
Ideal for elegant sweaters, lightweight cardigans, pullovers, shawls, scarves, wraps, hats, cowls, gloves, children's garments, and sophisticated everyday knitwear. Perfect for holding multiple strands together to achieve virtually any yarn weight.

✧ Tips & Recommendations:
Because of its lace construction, CASHMERE 10 is extremely versatile. Knit it with one strand for delicate lace fabrics or combine multiple strands to create Fingering, Sport, DK, Worsted, Aran, or Chunky weight projects while maintaining beautiful softness and excellent stitch definition.

➤ Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• Knitting: Select needle size according to the number of strands held together and your desired fabric.
• Crochet: Select hook size according to your preferred gauge.
• Always knit a swatch before beginning your project.

➤ Weaving Suitability:
Excellent for both warp and weft weaving. The merino provides strength and stability, while the cashmere adds softness and luxurious comfort to woven fabrics.
