Industria Italiana Filati Recycled Cotton Blend Cone Yarn

This recycled cotton blend yarn from Industria Italiana Filati offers a grounded, tactile character that speaks to practical textiles and thoughtful making. Spun at 1/3.3Nm, the yarn balances softness with a slightly rustic surface, giving it presence and durability without feeling heavy.

The composition is primarily recycled cotton, blended with polyester and other fibers to enhance strength and stability. The result is a yarn that feels soft yet gently textured — ideal for projects that benefit from structure, durability, and natural visual depth.

The surface carries a subtle irregularity typical of recycled fibers, creating a quiet, lived-in texture that suits both contemporary knitwear and artisanal home textiles. It is particularly well suited for garments and objects meant to be used and enjoyed daily.

As a surplus mill cone, this yarn offers both sustainability and creative freedom. Its generous cone size makes it especially appealing for makers, designers, and fiber artists exploring larger projects or experimental textile work.

• 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.
