Silk Cotton Yarn, MOOREA, Premium Italian Yarn by Botto Guiseppe, Lace Weight, Available on Cone or in Balls, 1000m/100g (1094y/3.52oz)

MOOREA is an ultra-fine Italian silk-cotton yarn by Botto Giuseppe, created for elegant knitwear with a clean, refined finish. Spun from 55% silk and 45% cotton, it produces a light, airy fabric with beautiful drape and subtle sheen — and it truly shines when worked in multiple strands. This is an extra-fine yarn. Single-strand knitting is not recommended. For a comfortable, wearable thickness, MOOREA is best held in multiple strands, allowing you to build the fabric you want — from light lace to a fuller, more opaque result. ▣ Product Specifications • Manufacturer: Botto Giuseppe, Italy • Article: MOOREA • Fiber Content: 55% Silk, 45% Cotton • Yarn Category: Lace / Ultra-Fine • Yarn Count (as on cone tag): Num/Count 1/10000 • Yardage (measured): approx. 1000 m / 100 g (≈ 1094 yd / 3.52 oz) • Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE) • Origin: Made in Italy ⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special • Luxurious silk-cotton blend with elegant drape and a refined finish • Extra-fine structure designed to be held in multiple strands • Subtle silk sheen balanced by cotton’s clean, breathable feel • Lets you “build” your ideal fabric: airy, light, or more opaque ⌁ Texture & Feel • Smooth, airy, and polished • Light sheen with a clean, elegant look • Softens and becomes more fluid after washing and blocking ➤ Recommended Uses • Summer tops, tees, and lightweight layering pieces (held 4–5 strands) • Shawls, wraps, and scarves (held 3–5 strands depending on openness) • Elegant accessories where you want softness + structure ➤ Recommended Needles • Single strand is not recommended (extra-fine yarn). • 3 strands: approx.
