This playful fancy yarn features an irregular slub structure — alternating thick and thin segments that create a naturally textured surface full of movement and visual rhythm. Spun at 1/2.1Nm, it offers both softness and dimension, making it especially suitable for statement garments.

The composition blends extrafine merino wool and baby alpaca for warmth and softness, while polyamide and polyester fibers provide strength and durability. Fine silver metallic threads are subtly integrated, adding a refined shimmer that enhances the yarn’s sculptural texture without overpowering it.

The lilac tone carries a gentle, airy quality, elevated by the yarn’s uneven structure and metallic accents. The result is expressive yet balanced — a yarn that feels both artistic and wearable.

As an industrial surplus yarn, it carries both creative freedom and practical value. Its unique structure makes it particularly well-suited for outerwear pieces where texture and personality are desired.

Important Notes

• Unlike skein yarn, cone yarn always requires a swatch test before knitting to determine shrinkage and gauge

• Some cones are rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels

• May have mild outer dust or storage marks

• Sold as is, without retail packaging

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

• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format.
  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.

• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric.
