Cariaggi Timeless is an exceptionally soft, luxurious and lightweight yarn made from 100% baby camel, spun and dyed in Italy by the renowned Cariaggi mill.

Baby camel fibre comes from the exceptionally fine and soft undercoat of the Bactrian camel. This natural undercoat protects the camel against extreme temperatures, giving the fibre outstanding insulating and thermoregulating properties. The result is a yarn that feels wonderfully light and soft while providing remarkable warmth without feeling heavy.

Unlike a traditional single or plied yarn, Cariaggi Timeless is made using a chainette construction. The fine chain-like structure creates an exceptionally light

The chainette construction is what makes Timeless particularly special. Despite its impressive warmth, the yarn is remarkably light, making it possible to create comfortable garments with beautiful drape and volume without unnecessary weight. The yarn also has excellent meterage, making it an economical choice for luxury knitwear.

Baby camel is naturally very fine and soft, making Timeless an excellent alternative to cashmere for those looking for a luxurious natural fibre with its own distinctive character. After washing, the yarn develops its full softness and beautiful drape.

Timeless is particularly suited to sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats and other lightweight luxury knitwear. For the best results, we recommend knitting relatively loosely to allow the chainette structure and baby camel fibre to fully develop.
