LHASA by Filcom, Italy is a refined Italian blend combining yak, cashmere, and silk into an exceptionally delicate lace yarn. At 550 meters per 100 grams (Nm 2/11000), this strand is extremely fine and airy, creating lightweight fabric with natural warmth and understated elegance.

Yak adds depth and gentle insulation, cashmere brings softness and a subtle bloom after washing, and silk provides strength with a refined, discreet sheen. The balance of these fibers results in fluid, elegant fabric that feels luxurious yet weightless.

Due to its very fine structure, this yarn is generally worked held double, combined with another yarn, or used for machine knitting. When held together, it creates beautiful softness, warmth, and depth without adding bulk.
