Papi Fabio · Flower 2/20000 · 1000m/1094yds per 100g/3.5oz · 67% Merino (WV) 32% Silk (Se)

Flower 2/20000 by Papi Fabio is a merino-silk yarn with a distinctive, lively character: a slightly wavy, undulating thread with subtle flamé thickenings distributed along its length, creating a natural irregularity that gives finished fabric a handcrafted, organic quality. The thickenings appear with the spontaneous rhythm of hand-spun fiber, never mechanical or repetitive, and the slight wave of the thread itself adds a further dimension of visual and tactile interest that smooth, uniformly spun yarns simply cannot offer.

67% merino provides the soft, warm foundation: natural elasticity, refined hand feel, and a consistent quality that holds the flamé character together across every strand. 32% silk adds a living luster that amplifies the flamé effect beautifully: where the thread thickens, the silk catches more light, and where it narrows, the sheen shifts and moves. The result is a yarn where the irregularity and the luminosity are inseparable, each making the other more visible and more beautiful.

Flower 2/20000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn, where the flamé character and merino-silk luster can express themselves fully, and as a companion thread, adding warmth, texture, and silk luminosity to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 1000m/100g, Flower 2/20000 works from sport through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Best worked in simple stitch patterns where the flamé thickenings and natural wave of the thread can read clearly. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where organic texture and merino-silk luminosity define the piece.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for merino and silk blends

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Silk becomes weaker when wet, handle with extra care

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. The flamé construction means gauge varies within the thread itself, always measure over a generous swatch area for accurate results. The merino-silk blend may also relax slightly after washing, altering drape and hand feel.
