A rare luxury Italian 100% merino wool yarn originally made for MISSONI, prepared by iDOKNiT in 2 strands for easier use, with a final working yardage of approximately 1500 meters per 100 g. This ultra-fine lace yarn is ideal for machine knitting, weaving, companion-yarn projects, lightweight garments, shawls, scarves, and refined designer-style knitwear.

The original yarn is extremely fine at approximately 3000 meters per 100 g, so I wind it in 2 strands to make it more practical and attractive for real projects. I highly recommend using this yarn as a companion with a solid-color base yarn to highlight the beauty of the original MISSONI color pattern. It can also be used in multiple strands by itself, but the unique color combination may become less visible.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
This yarn was originally made for MISSONI, one of the most iconic Italian fashion houses known for artistic knitwear, refined color work, and luxury textile design.

The original yarn is extremely fine, but when wound in 2 strands it becomes much more usable while still preserving its delicate, lightweight character. This makes it especially valuable for knitters and textile artists who want fine Italian merino with a designer color effect.

The strongest way to use this yarn is as a companion strand with a solid-color yarn. This allows the MISSONI color pattern to remain visible and adds soft movement, depth, and designer character to the fabric.
