This unique Italian yarn features delicate decorative knots (“shishibriki”) spaced every 1–2 inches, paired with a gentle stretch for a sculptural, couture-like finish. It is not intended for single-thread use. For best results, hold 2–4 strands together or blend with other fibers to build a dimensional, textured fabric that elevates simple shapes and stitches.

💡 Helpful Notes:

• Slight stretch gives structure without stiffness
• A unique choice for designers, texture-lovers, and experimental knitters

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight
📌 Please keep in mind: cone yarns may include protective wax used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes may be needed to fully release the fiber and allow the yarn to bloom into its final texture.

📸 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 highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
