Vimar · Arc 13000 · 1300m/1422yds per 100g/3.5oz · 68% Cashmere (WS) 32% Silk (Se)

Arc 13000 by Vimar is a cashmere-silk halo yarn of extraordinary delicacy, designed specifically for those who love the idea of a soft, airy halo but want nothing to do with mohair. This is the alternative: a halo built entirely from cashmere and silk, two of the finest natural fibers in the world, producing a fabric cloud that is incomparably softer, finer, and more refined than any mohair construction.

68% cashmere provides the halo fibers: impossibly soft, warm without weight, and with the quiet, enveloping luxury that is cashmere's signature. The halo is subtle and fine rather than bold and voluminous, more a gentle luminous warmth around each stitch than an obvious cloud, and that restraint is precisely what makes it beautiful. 32% silk adds a living pearlescent sheen that runs through every cashmere fiber in the halo, giving Arc 13000 a soft inner brilliance that shifts with light and movement.

Worked solo, Arc 13000 produces fabric of exceptional refinement: fine, luminous, warm, and tactilely extraordinary. Worked as a companion thread, it is transformative, wrapping any base yarn in a cashmere-silk halo that no mohair yarn can replicate. A single strand is enough to change everything.

Versatile Use

Arc 13000 works from 1 strand upward, with the halo expanding and deepening at every additional strand. Larger needles than the meterage suggests are recommended, the fine cashmere-silk halo needs space to breathe and express itself. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for the finest shawls, refined sweaters, cardigans, and any piece where a delicate natural halo of cashmere and silk defines the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for cashmere 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

Do not brush or rub, halo is extremely delicate

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. The cashmere-silk halo blooms further after washing, altering both gauge and the luminosity of the fabric surface. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use.
