Have you ever wondered what yarn made of fairy eyelashes and unicorn tears feels like*? Well, it feels a lot like this. Meet your emotional support yarn - Roma - from Lamana Yarn. Doesn’t require vaccines or a passport to travel with you. Fits nicely into any bag and once people touch it, they will completely understand why you have brought it as your +1 at your weird cousin’s wedding.
This yarn is basically what would happen if a cashmere goat and a silk worm teamed up to make a cloud. 80% cashmere, 20% mulberry silk, and light enough to float right out of your project bag if you don’t keep an eye on it. At just 20g, each skein still gives you 160m (175 yards), so it’s soft and sneaky-efficient.
ROMA knits up like a dream—one strand makes airy scarves or sweaters with that irresistible cashmere fluff, and it plays beautifully when paired with laceweights. Elegant, featherlight, and so soft you’ll find excuses to pet it when no one’s looking.
*No fairies or unicorns were harmed in the making of this yarn
Materials: 80% Cashmere 20% Silk
Yardage: 160 m, 20 g
Weight: DK
Needle Size: US 4-8 / 3,5 - 5 mm
Stitches per 4in (10cm): Knit 24 St x 34 R
Machine Washable: No, handwash, because otherwise you will be so, so sad once you take your new Polly Pocket sweater out of the washing machine.
Care: For ROMA we recommend short and gentle hand wash as well as the use of a neutral, mild wool detergent without enzymes and plasticizers, in very low doses. Then dry the knitted piece gently lying flat and avoid direct sunlight. You've seen what happens in Gremlins, right? Let's not let that happen here.
The raw cashmere wool for ROMA is certified in the criteria of animal welfare, sustainability, and social responsibility. We source these, as well as the mulberry silk, from China. The yarn is spun and dyed in Italy by a family-run traditional company.
