Olivo Quebec 35 Mohair 35 Superfine Alpaca 30 Polyamide Brushed Cone Yarn · 1/10Nm · Italy

This brushed halo yarn from the Italian house Olivo pairs lustrous mohair with superfine alpaca over a light polyamide core, giving it a soft, airy cloud of fiber and a weightless, luxurious handfeel. Spun at 1/10Nm, it is light yet lofty, making it especially suited to soft, atmospheric knitwear and pieces built around warmth without weight.

This yarn is available in a range of colorways, each softened by the diffuse halo that brushing gives — colors read as hazy and atmospheric rather than flat, with a quiet luminous depth. It is especially suitable for minimal aesthetic knitwear, delicate layering pieces, and timeless designs with a soft focus.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. Mohair brings luster, resilience, and a signature halo, superfine alpaca adds warmth and silky softness, and polyamide lends strength and lightness to the core.

Important Notes

• This yarn is light and brushed, with a soft halo and airy loft
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• Brushed mohair and alpaca release some loose fiber during knitting; this is normal and settles with use
• The halo develops further after washing and gentle brushing — a light steam or wash brings out the full bloom
• Please note that colors may vary slightly from screen to actual yarn depending on display settings
• For added structure, it can be held together with a finer wool, silk, or nylon thread
• 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 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
