Cariaggi · Seta 2*2/120 · 3000m/100g (3281yds/3.5oz) · 100% Silk (Se)

Seta 2*2/120 by Cariaggi is pure silk at its most essential — a gossamer-weight thread of exceptional clarity and fineness. Smooth, naturally luminous, and refined in hand, it carries all the inherent qualities of premium silk: a soft, living sheen that responds to light, fluid drape that falls with effortless elegance, and a sensory character that only the finest natural fiber can deliver.

Cariaggi is one of Italy's most respected luxury yarn mills, and Seta 2*2/120 reflects that heritage fully. The thread is clean and even, with a subtle brilliance that reveals itself most completely in open, airy constructions — and builds into something quietly spectacular as strand counts increase.

Versatile Use

At 3000m/100g, Seta 2*2/120 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. As strand counts build, the yarn transitions through fingering, DK, and worsted — silk's signature drape and sheen present at every stage. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and any piece where silk's natural brilliance is central to the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for silk

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Silk becomes weaker when wet — handle with extra care

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Pure silk may relax and drape further after washing, altering gauge and hand feel. Accurate swatching is particularly important at this fineness — small gauge differences multiply significantly across a garment.
