Alpaca Merino Yarn, Pecci Filati SORIANO, Premium Italian Lace Weight Yarn, Balls or Cones, 1500m/100g

SORIANO by Pecci Filati is a luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 45% Alpaca, 25% Merino Wool, and 30% Polyamide, with approximately 1500 meters per 100 g. This exceptionally soft and airy yarn creates lightweight fabric with beautiful fluffiness, elegant halo, warmth, and modern Italian knitwear character while remaining surprisingly practical and easy to work with. This is exactly the type of yarn that can completely transform another yarn when used as a companion strand — adding softness, airy volume, gentle halo, and a more luxurious finished appearance. At the same time, SORIANO is beautiful by itself when knitted in multiple strands, creating soft, warm, lightweight garments with elegant texture and excellent drape. The combination of alpaca and merino creates softness and warmth, while the polyamide stabilizes the structure, improves durability, and helps maintain the airy brushed effect that makes this yarn so attractive. Pecci Filati is known for producing refined Italian fashion yarns for premium knitwear and modern textile development, especially soft brushed luxury blends and contemporary fashion textures. ▣ Product Specifications • Manufacturer: Pecci Filati, Italy • Article: SORIANO • Fiber Content: 45% Alpaca, 25% Merino Wool, 30% Polyamide • Yarn Category: Lace Weight • Yarn Count: Nm 15000 • Yardage: approx. 1500 m / 1640 yd per 100 g (3.52 oz) • Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE) • Origin: Made in Italy ⌁ Texture & Feel • Extremely soft and airy • Elegant alpaca halo • Lightweight brushed texture • Warm without heaviness • Fluffy and atmospheric • Soft modern luxury feel • Comfortable and easy to wear ⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special SORIANO is one of those yarns that instantly makes fabric look softer, richer, and more luxurious.
