Renowned for its softness, warmth, and subtle sheen, this yarn is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

📍 ALL PURCHASED YARN IS WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. HOWEVER, WE CAN WIND IT ONTO CONES UPON REQUEST. THIS IS LIMITED QUANTITY YARN!

📍 YOU CAN BUY CONES HERE

📍 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, it can be purchased 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.

🧵 Weaving Recommendations

LEGEND MALTINTO 3/27 performs beautifully in weaving — both for warp and weft.
The merino-cashmere blend offers excellent tensile strength, making it stable on the loom, while still soft enough to drape gracefully in the finished fabric.

• Warp Use: Strong and even, perfect for fine scarves, shawls, or lightweight panels.
• Weft Use: Adds a luxurious, airy hand with a warm touch and elegant texture.
• Recommended Sett: 24–28 epi (warp) for twill or plain weave structures.
• Finishing: Wet-finish in cool water to bloom the cashmere fibers and create a soft, lightly brushed surface.

Ideal for woven scarves, fine wraps, and fabric panels with subtle marled tones and understated luxury.

📍 Care Instructions

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

📍 Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed for smooth running. Once knit, wash to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting and ideal for creating heirloom-quality pieces.
