This yarn actually represents the icing on the cake of our new blends for knitters. Since Giulia started breeding cashmere goats in South Piedmont, we’ve thought of creating a yarn with that heavenly fibre. So we decided to go through spinning process we had never used before, and we relied on a small mill for blending and spinning. The 2 ply structure provides a perfect thickness for hand knitting, yet maintaining a generous yardage.

This blend is composed of the finest unbleached milky white cashmere, a naturally light grey and fawn alpaca anda superfine merino cross wool from Abruzzo uplands, Aquilana, so that we get a balanced strength and a pearly hue that really makes our hearts dream.
