Baby Cashmere Yarn by Exclusive Italian Mill BABY CASHMERE is a rare luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 100% baby cashmere, with approximately 1300 meters per 100 g. This exceptionally fine yarn is feather-light, incredibly soft, warm, and elegant — a true luxury base for refined knitwear, delicate accessories, and custom multi-strand projects.

This yarn is not meant to be treated like regular hand-knitting yarn in one strand. With its extra-fine 1300m/100g structure, it works best in multiple strands, for machine knitting, weaving, or as a luxury companion yarn blended with silk, merino, mohair, alpaca, linen, or other fine fibers. The result is a soft, airy, cocoon-like fabric with exceptional warmth and understated luxury.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
Baby cashmere is one of the most precious fibers in luxury knitwear, valued for its extraordinary softness, lightness, and gentle warmth. This yarn offers that rare softness in an extra-fine lace construction that gives makers full control over the final fabric.

Because it has very high meterage per 100 g, this yarn is especially valuable for multi-strand knitting and blending. You can adjust the thickness, softness, warmth, and drape by choosing how many strands to use or by combining it with other yarns.

It is an exceptional choice for makers who want to create truly refined knitwear: soft shawls, lightweight sweaters, baby garments, luxury layering pieces, and heirloom accessories with a quiet, expensive feel.

✧ Fiber Profile
• 100% Baby Cashmere
• Exceptional softness and gentle warmth
• Feather-light insulation without heaviness
• Refined luxury hand feel
• Beautiful bloom after washing
• Comfortable for delicate, skin-close pieces

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
This is an extra-fine lace yarn at approximately 1300 m per 100 g, so I do not recommend it for comfortable single-strand hand knitting.

Best used:
• In multiple strands
• For machine knitting
• For weaving
• As a luxury companion yarn
• Blended with silk, mohair, merino, alpaca, linen, or other fine fibers

For hand knitting, I recommend starting with several strands together depending on the fabric you want. More strands will create a warmer, fuller, more wearable fabric while still keeping the softness and lightness of baby cashmere.
