ULTRASOFT WOOL
An extremely lightweight material that resembles cashmere to the touch. With 17.5 microns of thickness, it is our softest and thinnest wool fiber.
A full, bright yarn ideal for creating formal-looking wool pieces. Being 100% Merino Wool, it is renewable, easily recyclable and biodegradable.
The scales on this fine fiber, only 17.5 microns thick, are removed to obtain an even smoother, more uniform material.
With one-ply yarns, the resulting pieces are light and perfect as first layers. With two-ply yarns, on the other hand, the texture is richer but the finished piece still remains thin.
Discover the properties
Not just for winter
Combining its lightness and all the heat-regulating properties of wool, this material is perfect for seasonless wear.
Gentle on the skin
It is a semi-worsted wool: this means that the longest and finest fibers are selected and made parallel and regular, but the texture remains soft like with chunkier yarns. This is where its extreme softness comes from.
