Loro Piana · Exodus 2/100 · 500m/547yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Silk (Se)

Exodus 2/100 by Loro Piana is pure silk at its most immediately accessible — a fingering-weight thread from one of the world's most celebrated luxury houses, ready to knit straight from the cone without calculation or strand combining. One strand, one needle, and the full sensory character of Loro Piana silk is right there in the hand: smooth, luminous, and fluid in a way that only pure silk can be.

Loro Piana's silk is sourced and spun to the same exacting standards that define every fiber the house touches. The thread is clean, even, and carries that living pearlescent sheen that shifts with light and movement, giving finished fabric a natural brilliance that no synthetic can replicate. The drape is effortless and the hand is cool, smooth, and instantly distinctive.

Exodus 2/100 works beautifully as a standalone yarn — take it as it is and knit something exceptional — and as a companion thread, adding pure Loro Piana silk luminosity and fluid drape to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 500m/100g, Exodus 2/100 is a fingering-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is — no strand combining required. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Pure silk performs beautifully in open lace patterns, refined stockinette, and any design where the natural luster and drape of the fiber are central to the design. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined sweaters, shawls, and occasion pieces where Loro Piana silk quality defines the finished piece.
