ELEGANCE is an ultra-fine 100% cashmere lace yarn created for European luxury fashion production and sourced through the Italian yarn stock market from established Italian suppliers. With approximately 1800 m per 100 g, this is an exceptionally fine cashmere thread designed for luxury blending, machine knitting, weaving, and multi-strand hand knitting when you want soft, refined, lightweight fabric with a beautiful cashmere halo.

This yarn is finer than the PRESTIGE 2/26 cashmere, making it especially valuable as a companion yarn. It can add softness, warmth, halo, and luxury feel to sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, baby blankets, and multicolor projects without adding heavy thickness. Even a small amount can elevate another yarn and make the finished fabric feel more expensive.

Yes — this yarn is manufactured in China, which is one of the world’s primary sources of premium cashmere fiber. Most luxury cashmere used by Italian mills and European fashion houses originates from goats raised in China and Mongolia. The final quality depends not only on the origin of the fiber, but also on fiber selection, sorting, spinning technology, processing, and finishing standards.

What impressed me personally about this yarn was the actual knitting experience. I knitted a sample using US size 4 needles, and the yarn was surprisingly easy and pleasant to work with. After the very first wash, the fabric opened beautifully, developed a soft elegant halo, and even the small uneven areas and tiny knots relaxed into a much more refined and cohesive fabric. The final result feels soft, lightweight, elevated, and truly luxurious.
