RiGo · Opera 3/15 · 500m/547yds per 100g/3.5oz · 70% Cashmere (WS) 30% Silk (Se)

Opera 3/15 by RiGo is a cashmere-silk blend of genuine refinement — 70% cashmere and 30% silk in a fingering-weight thread that brings together the two most celebrated luxury fibers in a composition of quiet, sustained elegance. Cashmere delivers its legendary softness and enveloping warmth, while silk adds a living luster and fluid drape that transforms the character of the blend entirely. Together they produce a thread that is softer than cashmere alone, more luminous than silk alone, and more beautiful than either fiber could achieve independently.

The hand feel is immediately extraordinary — silky, warm, and smooth in a way that only this particular pairing can produce. The natural sheen of the silk runs through every stitch, catching light with a subtle, pearlescent quality that gives finished fabric an unmistakable depth and luminosity.

Opera 3/15 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, instantly enriching any combination with cashmere warmth and silk luminosity. Equally at home soloing in a refined statement piece or elevating any yarn it is paired with.

Versatile Use

At 500m/100g, Opera 3/15 works in 1 or 2 strands for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The cashmere-silk blend maintains its exceptional softness, warmth, and luster at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where cashmere luxury and silk luminosity define the finished piece.
