Lineapiù Yak 39 Merino 17 Yak 42 Polyamide 2 Elastane Cone Yarn · 18000Nm · Italy

This brushed blend yarn from the Italian house Lineapiù pairs extrafine merino wool and soft yak fiber with a fine polyamide base and a touch of elastane, creating a light, airy yarn with a gentle brushed halo and quiet elasticity. At 18000Nm it is exceptionally fine, making it especially suited to featherweight knitwear and soft, atmospheric fabrics.

This yarn is available in a range of colorways, each understated and atmospheric, with a quiet depth that feels modern and considered. Every tone is especially suitable for timeless knitwear, soft brushed garments, and minimal aesthetic designs.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The extrafine merino and yak bring warmth and softness, the polyamide lends a light, stable base, and the elastane adds a subtle, comfortable stretch.

Important Notes

• This yarn is very fine and brushed, with a soft halo and gentle stretch — often held double or plied to reach a desired weight
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension, gauge, and brushed effect
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• As a natural wool and yak blend, gentle handling and low-heat care are recommended to preserve softness and the brushed surface
• Please note that colors may vary slightly from screen to actual yarn depending on display settings
• Please allow approximately 5%–6% waste, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• 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
• 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
