TREBISONDA is an ultra-fine Italian lace yarn spun from 30% Cashmere and 70% Extrafine Merino Wool. This refined blend delivers exceptional softness, elasticity, and warmth with a fluid, elegant drape. Cashmere provides quiet luxury and insulation, while extrafine merino adds breathability, resilience, and clean stitch definition.

At 1500 m / 100 g (Nm 1/15), TREBISONDA is extremely fine. For hand knitting, it must be used held in multiple strands to achieve a workable gauge and stable fabric. This yarn shines when treated correctly—creating lightweight yet warm garments with a refined, luxurious hand.

• Best used as weft for fluid, drapey fabrics
• Can be used as warp when doubled or paired with a supporting warp thread
• Suggested sett: approx. 20–26 epi, depending on structure
• Ideal for shawls, scarves, stoles, lightweight panels, and luxury woven textiles

After wet finishing, woven fabric becomes softer, more fluid, and gently lofty with beautiful drape.
