Gargantu Aymarag Alpaca Blend Brushed Cone Yarn · Tit 18,000 · Italy

This brushed alpaca-blend yarn from Italy is spun as an ultra-fine single at Tit 18,000, with long fibers left free to create a soft, airy halo. Feather-light and quietly warm, it is designed to bloom into a delicate cloud of texture, making it especially suited to lightweight knitwear, layering pieces, and use as an effect yarn held together with other qualities.

The color is a heathered wine — a deep, muted burgundy shot through with subtle marled tones, giving it quiet depth and atmospheric richness. It is especially suitable for timeless knitwear, soft-focus textures, and minimal aesthetic designs built around a considered palette.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The brushed alpaca blend brings warmth, softness, and a luminous halo, with a featherweight hand that lends finished pieces a soft, refined bloom.

Important Notes

• This yarn is an ultra-fine brushed single — light, airy, and often best held together with another yarn for structure
• As a brushed yarn, it has a natural halo and may shed some loose fibers, which is normal for this construction
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension, halo, and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• To reduce shedding, shake the finished piece before washing, or place it in a bag in the freezer so loose fibers release more easily — do not use a lint roller or brush that pulls at the fibers
• As a natural alpaca fiber, gentle hand washing in cool water and drying flat are recommended to preserve softness and halo
• Please note that colors may vary slightly from screen to actual yarn depending on display settings
• Some cones may be 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 5%–6% waste, 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
