The unique qualities of our yarns
Cashmere: the King of Yarns for Artisan Knitwear
Among the finest handmade knitting yarns, cashmere comes from the Hyrcus goat, bred in the mountainous regions of Asia. It is loved for its exceptional softness, lightness and ability to thermally insulate the body.
🔹 Thermal Regulation: Due to the presence of microscopic air chambers within the fiber, cashmere offers superior insulation, protecting against cold and heat and promoting breathability.
🔹 Unparalleled Softness: The soft, gentle touch of cashmere gives an enveloping feel on the skin without causing irritation. Its natural elasticity also allows the garment to maintain its shape over time.
🔹 Lightness and Fineness: Cashmere is incredibly warm while being lightweight. Ranging in fineness from 11 to 18 microns, it is much finer than merino wool, giving garments an extraordinary elegance and sophistication.
🔹 Durability and Maintenance: A cashmere garment is an investment in time. With proper care, it retains its beauty and even becomes softer with washing. To best preserve it, it is advisable to alternate its use and wash it gently, avoiding the use of harsh detergents.
Cashmere Blend: Tradition and Versatility
Cashmere blends are an ideal solution for those looking for handcrafted knitting yarns that combine value and practicality. Blending cashmere with natural or technical fibers offers greater strength, elasticity and ease of maintenance, without sacrificing the softness typical of pure cashmere.
Merino Wool: Natural Warmth for Handcrafted Knitwear
Among the best yarns for handmade knitwear, merino wool is prized for its thermal and breathable properties. Sourced from Merino sheep, it is thin, soft and extremely comfortable.
It is suitable for all seasons, hypoallergenic and odor-resistant-perfect for knitted garments to be worn daily.
Natural Linen: Summer Freshness and Elegance
Linen is one of the most popular handmade knitting yarns for summer. Cool, lightweight and breathable, it is also environmentally friendly and biodegradable, with a reduced environmental impact. Its antibacterial properties and durability make it ideal for stylish and durable garments.
Cotton: Natural Yarn for Every Season
Cotton is a plant fiber loved for its lightness and softness. Among artisan knitting yarns, it is one of the most versatile: perfect for both summer and winter due to its thermal capacity. It is also durable, hypoallergenic and sustainable, suitable for fashion consciousness.
Viscose: Fluidity and Lightness in Artisan Knitwear
Viscose is an artificial yarn of natural origin, ideal for elegant and comfortable knitwear. With its silk-like sheen and ability to absorb moisture, it is among the most popular yarns for handmade knitwear because of its lightness and freshness.
At Maglificio Rinaldi we select only certified viscose to offer beautiful, durable and sustainable garments.
