Loro Piana · Cashmere 2/27 · 1350m/1477yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Cashmere (WS)

Cashmere 2/27 by Loro Piana is pure cashmere in its most essential form — no blends, no additions, nothing between the fiber and the hand but the thread itself. Loro Piana is the global benchmark for cashmere quality, sourcing only the finest, longest fibers from the most carefully selected fleeces, and Cashmere 2/27 represents that standard without compromise.

The thread is smooth, even, and extraordinarily soft — the kind of softness that is immediately perceptible and impossible to replicate with any other fiber. Warm without weight, refined without effort, and with a natural matte luster that deepens as the fabric settles with wear. This is cashmere as it should be: pure, simple, and entirely without equal.

Cashmere 2/27 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, instantly elevating any yarn it is combined with to a higher level of refinement.

Versatile Use

At 1350m/100g, Cashmere 2/27 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Pure cashmere maintains its incomparable softness and warmth at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where nothing but the finest cashmere will do.
