Biagioli Modesto · Antille 2/48 · 2400m/100g (2625yds/3.5oz) · 25% Cashmere (WS) 45% Merino (WV) 30% Viscose (Vi)
Antille 2/48 by Biagioli Modesto is a refined gossamer-weight blend of 25% cashmere, 45% merino, and 30% viscose — three fibers that complement each other with quiet precision. Cashmere brings its legendary softness and warmth, merino contributes exceptional fineness and natural elasticity, and viscose adds fluid drape and a subtle, silky sheen that lifts the blend into something distinctly elegant.
Biagioli Modesto is one of Tuscany's most respected family mills, with generations of expertise in fine Italian yarns. Antille 2/48 reflects that tradition: consistent, beautifully balanced, and remarkably versatile across a wide range of strand combinations.
Versatile Use
At 2400m/100g, Antille 2/48 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The cashmere-merino-viscose composition maintains its character throughout — soft, warm, and with a gentle luminosity that viscose brings to every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, lightweight tops, and accessories where softness and subtle sheen define the finished piece.

Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cool water
Use a mild detergent suitable for cashmere, merino, and viscose blends
Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
Do not wring, twist, or agitate
Viscose 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. This blend may bloom slightly after washing while revealing the viscose's natural sheen. The cashmere-merino-viscose composition affects drape and gauge significantly, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
