Elevate your fiber collection with FLOCK, a refined example of Italian textile engineering by Filati Biagioli Modesto. This is not a traditional smooth cashmere. Instead, FLOCK is a sophisticated 98% Cashmere / 2% Merino Wool blend spun into a distinctive textured crêpe structure. The yarn features a tightly twisted, undulating construction that creates a subtle wavy, bumpy surface—without the open loops typical of bouclé. The result is an elegant, dimensional fabric with depth, movement, and a modern luxury feel.
