Cashmere Alpaca Yarn from an Exclusive Italian Mill is a rare luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 60% Cashmere and 40% Alpaca, with approximately 2600 meters per 100 g. This exquisite ultra-fine industrial construction yarn offers softness, warmth, delicate halo, and complex multicolor depth in an exceptionally refined Italian-made fiber.

This yarn features expertly blended multicolor combinations with rich visual movement and sophisticated tonal depth. Cashmere gives the yarn softness, elegance, and a refined hand, while alpaca adds warmth, airy halo, and gentle structure. The result is a lightweight luxury yarn designed for multi-strand knitting, blending, machine knitting, weaving, and couture-style textile work.

Because this yarn is extremely fine, it is not intended for single-strand hand knitting. It is best used in multiple strands or held together with other yarns to create custom fabrics with controlled density, drape, opacity, warmth, and visual texture.
