Cariaggi · Cashmere Plus 2/28 · 1400m/1531yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Cashmere (WS)

Cashmere Plus 2/28 by Cariaggi is pure cashmere at the finest end of the knittable spectrum — a super-fine thread of extraordinary quality from one of Italy's most respected luxury yarn mills. Cariaggi has been producing premium cashmere yarns for decades, supplying the world's most demanding fashion houses, and Cashmere Plus 2/28 carries that heritage in every meter: clean, even, impossibly soft, and refined in a way that only the best cashmere can be.

The thread is smooth and consistent, with a natural matte luster and a hand feel that is immediately extraordinary. Pure cashmere at this fineness has a particular quality — lightweight, enveloping, and warm in a way that feels almost effortless. Worked at multiple strand counts, it builds from translucent, gossamer-light fabric through to structured, luxurious garments, carrying its softness and warmth throughout.

Cashmere Plus 2/28 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, instantly enriching any combination with the incomparable luxury of pure Cariaggi cashmere.

Versatile Use

At 1400m/100g, Cashmere Plus 2/28 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.
