G&G Filati · Velloso 8400 · 840m/919yds per 100g/3.5oz · 70% Cotton (Co) 20% Silk (Se) 10% Cashmere (WS) · Sequins

Velloso 8400 by G&G Filati is a three-fiber blend of unexpected elegance — 70% cotton, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere, threaded with sequins that catch and scatter light across the fabric surface. Cotton provides the breathable, natural foundation; silk adds a living luster and fluid drape that transforms the hand of the thread; and a touch of cashmere brings a softness to the blend that no amount of cotton or silk alone can replicate.

The sequins are distributed evenly along the thread — consistent, measured, and refined. Against the warm, matte backdrop of cotton with silk's subtle sheen, they create a sparkle that is genuinely elegant: present enough to be noticed, restrained enough to remain wearable in every setting.

Velloso 8400 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding the warmth of this three-fiber blend and a delicate sequin shimmer to any combination. Equally at home soloing in a statement piece or elevating any yarn it is paired with.

Versatile Use

At 840m/100g, Velloso 8400 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined summer sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and any warm-weather occasion piece where natural fiber sophistication and sequin sparkle define the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for cotton, silk, and cashmere blends

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Silk becomes weaker when wet — handle with extra care

Do not iron — sequins may be damaged by heat

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. The cotton-silk-cashmere blend may relax and drape further after washing, altering gauge and hand feel. Accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates across all strand counts.
