Cotton Merino Yarn, BOTTO GIUSEPPE TAHITI, Luxury Italian Lace Weight Yarn, Balls or Cones, 2400m/100g

TAHITI is an exceptionally fine Italian cotton-merino yarn produced by the renowned BOTTO GIUSEPPE spinning mill. Made from 50% Cotton and 50% Merino Wool, this luxurious lace-weight yarn combines the breathability and comfort of cotton with the softness, elasticity, and temperature-regulating properties of fine merino wool. At approximately 2400 meters per 100 grams, TAHITI is an ultra-fine mill yarn designed for knitters, weavers, and makers who appreciate premium Italian fibers. It works beautifully as a companion yarn, adding softness, comfort, elasticity, and stability without adding halo or obscuring stitch patterns. Unlike mohair companion yarns, TAHITI allows lace, cables, textures, and colorwork to remain crisp and clearly visible. Whether paired with linen, cotton, silk, merino, cashmere, or alpaca, TAHITI enhances the final fabric while preserving the character of the primary yarn. Its extraordinary meterage means even small quantities go a very long way. ▣ Product Specifications • Manufacturer: BOTTO GIUSEPPE, Italy • Article: TAHITI • Fiber Content: 50% Cotton, 50% Merino Wool • Yarn Category: Lace Weight • Yarn Structure: Smooth Fine Mill Yarn • Yarn Count: Nm 2/48000 • Yardage: approximately 2400m / 2649yd per 100g (3.52oz) • Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE) • Origin: Made in Italy ⌁ Texture & Feel • Soft and smooth • No halo • Airy and lightweight • Excellent stitch definition • Breathable and comfortable • Gentle elasticity • Beautiful drape • Suitable for year-round garments • Comfortable next to the skin • Creates refined luxury fabrics ⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special TAHITI combines two fibers that complement each other beautifully.
