Papi Fabio · Orchidea 2/15000 · 750m/100g (820yds/3.5oz) · 80% Merino (WV) 20% Polyamide (PA)
Orchidea 2/15000 by Papi Fabio is a refined lace-weight blend of 80% merino and 20% polyamide — two fibers working in precise balance. Merino delivers its signature softness, natural warmth, and gentle elasticity, while polyamide reinforces the structure with exceptional durability and resilience. The result is a yarn that performs as beautifully as it feels: smooth, consistent, and remarkably strong for its fineness.
The merino-polyamide combination is a proven pairing in fine Italian yarn making — softness that lasts, structure that holds, and a finished fabric that retains its shape and character wash after wash.
Orchidea 2/15000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding merino's natural warmth and polyamide's quiet strength to any combination.
Versatile Use
At 750m/100g, Orchidea 2/15000 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The merino-polyamide blend maintains its softness and performance at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, accessories, and everyday garments where durability and comfort go hand in hand.
