📌 Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those containing cashmere, may include protective wax used for industrial machine knitting. A few gentle washes may be needed to fully release the fiber and allow the yarn to bloom into its softest and most beautiful form.

📸 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.

🎨 Colors are photographed in natural lighting, but appearance may vary depending on screen settings.
