MILANO is a two-ply twisted SUPERLIGHT fingering yarn made of superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns and 10% cashmere. The carded yarn with a meterage of 180 m on only 25 g (197 yd. on only 0.88 oz.) gets its unique lightness through an innovative manufacturing method. The temperature-regulating and breathable properties of merino wool are supported positively. The addition of cashmere makes the grip even softer and reinforces the light wool fluff, through which the yarn gets its noble, silky matt surface.

The mulesing-free raw merino wool for MILANO is sourced from selected Australian shepherds, the cashmere raw wool from Mongolia or China. The raw wool used is certified regarding animal welfare, sustainability, and social responsibility. We have it spun and dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for baby products by a family-run traditional company in Italy.

Due to its weight, our luxurious blend of Merino Superfine and Cashmere is very versatile. Knitted individually, it is great for delicate scarves and incomparably soft and light garments and accessories for the whole year. Knitted double-stranded, MILANO offers a DK weight and is therefore a good choice for many designs that are warm and cuddly for the colder season.
