Merino Yarn, WISH, Premium Italian Yarn by Loro Piana, Lace Weight, In 2 STRANDS - 1500m/100g (1640y/3.52oz)

From the world-renowned Loro Piana mill, WISH is considered one of the most prestigious merino yarns available. This ultra-fine 100% Extrafine Merino is celebrated for its incredible softness and exceptional quality. Though very delicate on its own, its unique structure allows it to be used with multiple threads to create a luxurious, thicker fabric without losing its elegant feel.

📍 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.

⚠️ This yarn is originally an ultra-fine single thread, but for your convenience, it is pre-wound into two strands, creating a finished weight of 1500 meters per 100 grams (1640 yards per 3.52 oz). Your final order will be wound onto balls or cones from these two-ply strands. 
If you would like this yarn wound in a single strand, please include a note with your special request order. Due to its fine nature, A SEPARATE CONE MUST BE PURCHASED FOR THIS SPECIAL WINDING REQUEST. We are unable to wind it into balls in a single thread. 

✨ Texture & Feel:
This ultra-fine yarn is the epitome of softness and luxury. Spun from 100% Extrafine Merino, it has a silky touch and remarkable drape. This yarn creates an exceptionally lightweight and comfortable fabric, making it a dream to knit with and wear.

🧶 Recommended Projects:
This versatile yarn is perfect for creating a range of projects, from delicate lace to soft, warm garments.
• Lace Projects: Use multiple threads for incredibly airy and intricate lace shawls and wraps.
• Garments: Combine threads to create a Sport or DK-weight yarn suitable for sweaters, cardigans, and vests.
• Accessories: Knit scarves, cowls, hats, and socks with multiple strands for a quick and cozy finish.
•  This yarn is wonderfully soft and gentle, making it an ideal choice for crafting knitwear for babies and children.

⚠️ Important Note on Thread Count:
Due to the extremely fine nature of this yarn, we do not recommend using it in just one or two threads. For best results and a more substantial fabric, we recommend the following:
• Machine Knitting: Start with 6 threads held together.
• Hand Knitting: Start with 8–12 threads held together.

🪡 Recommended Needles & Hooks:
• Knitting Needles (6 threads): 2.75–3.25 mm (US 2–3)
• Knitting Needles (8–12 threads): 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7)
• Crochet Hooks: 3.5–4.5 mm (E-4 to 7)

📍 Recommendations for Weaving:
Due to its extremely fine structure, WISH is not recommended as a warp yarn. However, it makes a luxurious and wonderfully soft weft yarn. Using it in the weft will add a touch of extrafine Merino softness to your finished piece, creating a fabric with beautiful drape and a high-end feel. It's perfect for weaving projects like elegant scarves, lightweight shawls, or throws where you want to emphasize softness and texture.

📏 Estimated Usage:
• Sweater (M): 300–400g (750–1000m / 820–1094 yd)
• Shawl: 100–150g (250–375m / 273–410 yd)
• Scarf: 100–150g (250–375m / 273–410 yd)

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

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📸 Please Note:
• The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
