Zegna Baruffa · Cashmere 2/28000 · 1400m/1531yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Cashmere (WS)

Cashmere 2/28000 by Zegna Baruffa is pure cashmere from one of Italy's most storied textile names — a mill with a heritage stretching back generations and a reputation built on supplying the world's most demanding luxury brands. This is cashmere produced to the exacting standards that the Zegna name demands: carefully selected fiber, precisely spun, and consistent in quality from the first meter to the last.

The thread is smooth, even, and extraordinarily soft — warm without weight, refined without effort, and with the quiet, natural luster that only the finest cashmere fiber can produce. At every strand count it delivers the same essential character: enveloping softness, natural warmth, and a hand feel that is immediately and unmistakably cashmere.

Cashmere 2/28000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, instantly enriching any combination with the incomparable luxury of pure Zegna Baruffa cashmere.
