Cariaggi Fleece 3/22 is a luxurious 100% Italian cashmere spun by the renowned mill Cariaggi using a carded (woolen-spun) construction. Unlike the smooth finish of traditional 2/28 cashmere, Fleece 3/22 is designed to create a naturally lofty, airy yarn with a delicate brushed halo and exceptional softness.
With its 3/22 Nm count (approximately 730 m per 100 g), this yarn is substantial enough to knit on its own while still producing remarkably lightweight garments. The carded construction traps air between the fibers, creating warmth without weight and giving finished pieces a soft, cloud-like handle. After washing, the yarn develops an even fuller bloom, enhancing its signature fleece-like texture while maintaining the elegant drape expected from premium cashmere.
Cariaggi Fleece 3/22 is an excellent choice for knitters looking for a softer, more textured alternative to classic cone cashmere. It creates beautifully cozy sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats, and shawls with a refined, understated halo—perfect for timeless knitwear that feels as luxurious as it looks.
