Handle with care—this yarn is as precious as the piece you'll create.
Please keep in mind that cone yarns—especially cashmere—often contain a noticeable amount of wax, which is added during production to protect the fibers and ensure smooth performance on industrial knitting machines. A few washes may be required to fully remove the wax and allow the cashmere to fully bloom into its softest, most luxurious state. Each wash enhances the natural halo and softens the final fabric beautifully.

📸 Please Note:
The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
