Cashmere Silk Yarn by Exclusive Italian Mill ROYAL 2/58 is an exceptionally refined luxury Italian extra-fine lace yarn made from 70% Cashmere and 30% Silk, with approximately 2900 meters per 100 g. This feather-light couture-grade yarn combines the softness and warmth of cashmere with the elegant sheen, fluidity, and luminous refinement of silk.

The result is a yarn that feels airy, delicate, smooth, and deeply luxurious, with a polished glow rather than a rustic finish. In Light Royal Blue, the yarn has an elegant luminous color presence that feels soft, sophisticated, and elevated without looking overly bright.

ROYAL 2/58 is especially appealing for makers who enjoy building custom fabrics through strand count, blending, machine knitting, weaving, or refined multi-strand hand knitting. Because this yarn is extremely fine, it gives extraordinary flexibility and control over the final fabric.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
ROYAL 2/58 offers the kind of fineness and elegance that makes luxury Italian cone yarns so versatile and desirable.

Cashmere gives the yarn softness, warmth, and a cocooning feel, while silk adds light, drape, fluidity, and a subtle polished glow. Together, they create fabrics that feel refined, modern, elegant, and deeply luxurious.

Because of its ultra-fine construction, this yarn gives the maker complete control over the final fabric. It can become airy and ethereal in multiple strands, more wearable and structured when combined with other fibers, or beautifully precise in machine knitting and weaving.

This is an ideal yarn for makers who value softness, elegance, and textile flexibility rather than a fixed ready-made thickness.
