    • "Giacomo is a pure cashmere yarn like no other in the market. Very close in softness to our Vicuña with a silky luster and a refined look. We always aim for soft, luxury feel and refined look but GIACOMO is at a different level."

      100% Pure Cashmere – The Pinnacle of Knitting Luxury

      Indulge in the ultimate knitting experience with Giacomo, Illimani's exquisite 100% cashmere yarn. Meticulously crafted from the finest cashmere fibers, Giacomo is a unique yarn.

      Made from 10 thin strands of pure cashmere twisted together, this yarn has a smooth, buttery handle. And despite the smoothness (which makes it fluid and lustrous), it's also airy and light - which is so unusual in a smooth yarn.

      It's an absolute joy on the needles, but also in the wearing. Perfect for graceful garments and accessories worn directly on the skin.

      We love the timeless, elegant palette for this heirloom quality yarn.

      A truly special yarn - we wouldn't expect anything less from Illimani!

      Made in Bolivia.  Illimani works with international aid organisations to help artisans in Peru and Bolivia.
