✨ Texture & Feel
Soft, voluminous, and slightly textured, LIFE has a rich, fluffy structure that balances elegance with a casual, modern feel. The mohair adds a light halo and shimmer, while the multicolor tweed flecks bring depth and visual interest.

🧶 Recommended Uses
Perfect for creating:
• Cozy yet refined sweaters and cardigans
• Chanel-style jackets and textured outerwear
• Soft scarves, wraps, and voluminous cowls
• Statement accessories and designer-inspired knitwear

🧷 Knitter’s Note
I knitted my sample using US size 4 needles in one thread. While knitting, the sample felt slightly rough, with visible openness between stitches. However, after washing, the mohair bloomed beautifully — filling in the empty spaces and creating a soft, full, and fluffy texture. I would absolutely recommend using this yarn in a single thread for creating cozy, warm, and incredibly comfortable knitwear like sweaters and cardigans.

🪡 Recommended Needles & Hooks
• Knitting Needles: 4.0–6.0 mm (US 6–10)
• Crochet Hooks: 4.0–5.5 mm (US G–I)
For a lighter, more open texture, use larger needles to allow the mohair halo to bloom.

📏 Estimated Yarn Usage
• Sweater (Size M): 350–450 g (approx. 1225–1575 m / 1340–1720 yd)
• Cardigan or Jacket: 450–600 g (approx. 1575–2100 m / 1720–2295 yd)
• Scarf or Wrap: 150–250 g (approx. 525–875 m / 575–955 yd)

🧵 Weaving Recommendations
Excellent for weft in textured or artistic fabrics. The bouclé-tweed effect creates depth and luxury. For warp, pair with a strong, smooth yarn such as silk or cotton for stability. Recommended sett: 8–10 EPI for soft drape; 12–14 EPI for a denser, more tailored finish.

📍 Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight

🧶 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. PLEACE 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.
