Biella Yarn · Leonora 2/3000 · 1500m/1640yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Merino (WV)

Leonora 2/3000 by Biella Yarn is pure merino at its most straightforward and most satisfying. A clean, soft, super-fine thread that does exactly what good merino should: knits beautifully, feels genuinely pleasant in the hand, and produces fabric that is warm, soft, and wears well. There is nothing complicated here, and that is precisely the point.

The thread is smooth and even, with a refined surface and a natural elasticity that makes multi-strand knitting a genuine pleasure. Merino at this fineness has a particular quality, lightweight and soft without any roughness or scratch, warm without feeling heavy, and consistent from the first meter to the last. Biella, the historic heartland of Italian fine wool production, is the right place for a yarn like this to come from.

Leonora 2/3000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a reliable, high-quality companion thread, adding pure merino softness, warmth, and natural elasticity to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 1500m/100g, Leonora 2/3000 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Pure merino performs beautifully across all stitch patterns and garment types. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where classic merino quality defines the finished piece.
