Giacomo by Illimani

"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.

We are so so proud to be the sole UK stockist for Illimani Yarns. We know you'll LOVE their gorgeous yarns as much as we do.
After many years in the fashion business importing ready-to-wear collection of alpaca and llama wool apparel hand-made by artisans in Bolivia, Illimani decided it is time to focus on the yarn. By applying all their experience on knits and fine wools to carefully select the very best natural yarns in the world at unbeatable prices.
Illimani has worked with thousands of artisans in Bolivia and Peru, many of which have mastered the art of knitting and crocheting. Our mission is to provide the materials and the inspiration to our customers to help them create their own artisanal textiles.
