📍 Please note:  CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE.
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, please add it separately. This small additional charge also helps cover the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

✨ Texture & Feel:
This yarn has an ultra-soft, featherlight handfeel with gentle warmth and breathability. Perfect for delicate layering pieces or luxurious accessories.

🧶 Recommended Uses:
Ideal for lace shawls, lightweight pullovers, baby knits, fine cardigans, and heirloom garments. Because of its soft hand and breathability, it's also perfect for transitional weather garments and layering knits. Works beautifully in colorwork, lacework, and fine textures.

💡 Tips & Recommendations:
We recommend holding 2 or more threads together when knitting for added structure, durability, and ease of handling. Also suitable for combining with mohair or silk yarns for elegant texture blends. If you enjoy lace knitting, use it single-threaded with small needles for crisp definition.

🧷 Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• Single-thread: 2.0–2.5 mm (US 0–1.5) for lacework or fine textures
• Held double (approx. light fingering weight): 3.0–3.5 mm (US 2.5–4)
• Held triple (approx. fingering to sport weight): 3.5–4.0 mm (US 4–6)
• Held quadruple (DK to light worsted): 4.0–5.0 mm (US 6–8)

📌 For handknitting, we recommend starting with 2 threads held together to create a stable and manageable fabric. This gives you a light fingering gauge while preserving the softness and drape of the yarn. Increase to 3 or more threads for sweaters, outerwear, or textured stitches.

🧵 Weaving Suitability:
Yes – suitable for both warp and weft, ideal for fine woven textiles and luxurious scarves.

📏 Recommended Yarn Usage (3 strands held together):
• Short-Sleeve Top: 200–300g (5000–7500 m / 5466–8200 yd)
• Long-Sleeve Sweater: 350–450g (8750–11250 m / 9566–12310 yd)
• Baby Set: 150g (3750 m / 4100 yd)
• Shawl: 100–150g (2500–3750 m / 2730–4100 yd)

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight
