Botto Giuseppe ZEN 70 Extrafine Merino 30 Silk Cone Yarn

This refined Italian-spun cone yarn blends the softness of extrafine merino wool with the natural luster and fluid strength of silk. Spun at 2/48Nm, it offers a fine, lightweight structure with exceptional drape and a smooth next-to-skin handfeel.

The color 4365 presents a Mottled Burgundy tone, where deep wine shades are softly interwoven with subtle tonal variation. The result is a complex yet elegant surface expression that feels rich without being heavy, making it especially suitable for elevated knitwear and refined layering pieces.

As an industrial surplus yarn from Botto Giuseppe, this cone reflects high-end mill consistency and material precision. It is ideal for makers who value softness, structure balance, and understated luxury in fine-gauge textiles.

Important Notes

• For best results, swatching is strongly recommended before production

• Cone yarn is industrially wound and not pre-treated like retail skeins

• Some cones may show minor outer dust or storage marks

• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible defects affecting usability

• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone

• Please allow approximately 2%–3% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling

• If yarn breaks occur, pull away about 10 cm and rejoin with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid fabric distortion

• Important: Cone yarn is different from yarn balls; swatching is always required before final garment production to test shrinkage and gauge
