Ilaria Caleziano Cigno 50 Kid Mohair 20 Wool 30 Nylon Brushed Cone Yarn · 1/10Nm · Italy

This brushed kid mohair blend yarn from the Italian house Ilaria Caleziano is spun at 1/10Nm, with long fibers brushed out to create a soft, luminous halo. Featherlight and quietly warm with a delicate bloom, it is designed to knit into airy, texture-rich fabrics, making it especially suited to lightweight knitwear, layering pieces, and use as a soft effect yarn.

The color 006117 Camel is a warm, muted tan — understated and atmospheric, with a soft natural depth that feels timeless and considered. It is especially suitable for classic knitwear, soft-focus textures, and minimal aesthetic designs built around a warm neutral palette.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The kid mohair brings exceptional softness, warmth, and a lustrous halo, while the wool and nylon add resilience and lasting structure to the fiber.

Important Notes

• This yarn is a fine brushed single — light, airy, and often lovely held together with another yarn for structure
• As a brushed mohair yarn, it has a pronounced 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 fiber blend, gentle handling and low-heat care are recommended to preserve softness, halo, and prevent felting
• 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
