Lineapiù Ghost 45 Wool 30 Alpaca 25 Nylon Cone Yarn · 1/5.2Nm · Italy

This brushed chainette yarn from the Italian house Lineapiù is built on a fine tubular chain construction with a soft halo brushed over its surface, giving it a light, airy body with gentle elasticity and loft. Warm yet weightless, it holds its shape without heaviness, making it especially suited to soft knitwear, layering pieces, and cozy accessories.

As a melange yarn, color 246 is spun from blended blue tones that give it a subtle heathered depth rather than a flat, solid shade — quiet and atmospheric, with a cool richness that feels modern and considered. It is especially suitable for timeless knitwear, soft-focus textures, and minimal aesthetic designs.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The wool and alpaca bring warmth, softness, and a gentle halo, while the chainette structure and nylon add lightness, elasticity, and lasting shape retention.

Important Notes

• This yarn has a chainette (tubular chain) construction — light and elastic, with body that does not weigh a piece down
• As a chainette yarn, avoid splitting the chain when working; a blunt-tip needle can help
• As a brushed yarn, it has a soft 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
