Ongetta S.R.L. · SETA 1800 · 180m/197yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Silk (Se)

SETA 1800 by Ongetta S.R.L. is a pure silk lash yarn of exceptional character — fine silk lashes radiating from a delicate chain-link core, creating a feathery, luminous surface with a depth and movement that conventional yarn structures simply cannot replicate. The chain core gives the thread an open, airy quality, while the silk lashes catch light with a natural pearlescent sheen that shifts and glows with every movement of the fabric.

Pure silk brings its full sensory character to the lash construction: fluid drape, natural warmth, a living luster that is entirely its own, and a softness that makes the feathery surface genuinely pleasurable against the skin. The combination of silk's inherent brilliance and the lash structure's open, dimensional quality produces fabric that is both visually spectacular and tactilely extraordinary.

SETA 1800 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, adding pure silk's natural sheen and a feathery lash texture to any combination. Equally at home soloing in a statement piece or elevating any yarn it is paired with.

Versatile Use

Designed for open, relaxed knitting and crochet, SETA 1800 works in 1 strand. Larger needles than the meterage suggests are essential — the silk lashes need room to stand free and the chain core needs space to open fully. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for statement tops, shawls, wraps, and occasion pieces where silk's natural luminosity and feathery lash texture define the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for silk

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. Pure silk may relax after washing, altering both gauge and the lash effect. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use — open gauge is key to this yarn's character.
