Manifattura IGEA S.P.A. · Vanille 12000 · 1200m/1313yds per 100g/3.5oz · 54% Merino (WV) 12% Cashmere (WS) 28% Polyamide (PA) 6% Elastane (EA)

Vanille 12000 by Manifattura IGEA S.P.A. is a merino-cashmere halo yarn with a construction that delivers both luxury and performance in equal measure. The soft, even halo radiates from a core that combines 54% merino and 12% cashmere, two fibers that together produce a hand feel of genuine refinement: merino's natural softness and warmth, deepened and elevated by cashmere's incomparable enveloping quality. The halo is consistent and full, giving finished fabric a soft, luminous surface with warmth that belies its light weight.

6% elastane introduces a natural spring and recovery to the thread, a quality rarely found in halo yarns, giving Vanille 12000 a gentle memory that makes it more forgiving to knit with and helps finished garments retain their shape through wear and washing. 28% polyamide reinforces the structure, ensuring the halo holds its form and the elastane's recovery is supported over time.

Vanille 12000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as an exceptional companion thread, a strand paired with any base yarn instantly adds a soft merino-cashmere halo and a touch of the blend's natural elasticity to any combination.

Versatile Use

Vanille 12000 works from 1 strand upward, with the halo expanding at every additional strand. Larger needles than the meterage suggests are recommended, the halo needs space to breathe and bloom. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where merino-cashmere softness and a generous halo define the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for merino, cashmere, and delicate fiber blends

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Do not brush or rub, halo is delicate

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. The elastane content gives this yarn a natural recovery that affects gauge differently from non-elastic threads. The halo also blooms after washing. Always measure after the swatch has fully relaxed.
