Biagioli Modesto · Cashmere 2/26 · 1300m/1422yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Cashmere (WS)

Cashmere 2/26 by Biagioli Modesto is pure cashmere from one of Tuscany's most respected family mills, carrying the same uncompromising standard of quality that Biagioli Modesto has brought to fine Italian yarns for generations. Clean, even, and extraordinarily soft, this is cashmere selected and spun with the care and precision that only a dedicated specialist mill can deliver.

The thread has the natural matte luster and enveloping hand feel that only the finest cashmere fiber can produce. Warm without weight, refined without effort, and with a quiet, sustained elegance that is entirely its own.

Cashmere 2/26 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, instantly enriching any combination with the incomparable luxury of pure Biagioli Modesto cashmere.
