Loro Piana Yarn

Loro Piana works with fine natural fibres and is especially associated with cashmere. Pure Light Fiber occasionally obtains new, unused Loro Piana yarn from surplus sources and makes it available in limited deadstock lots.

Choosing Loro Piana cashmere yarn on cones

Start with the yarn count, metreage per 100g and total available cone weight. A fine single or plied industrial yarn may be intended for machine knitting, but hand knitters can often combine multiple strands to reach a practical gauge.

Swatch with the same number of strands, needles and finishing method planned for the garment. Wash the swatch before measuring it: cashmere fabric often becomes fuller and softer after finishing. Buy enough for the complete project because matching deadstock dye lots usually cannot be reordered.

Before ordering

  • Use metres rather than ball count when comparing yarn requirements
  • Confirm whether the listing is sold by fixed weight or as a complete cone
  • Allow extra yarn for swatching and design changes
  • Review the individual listing for composition, count and care information

Loro Piana yarn questions

What kind of Loro Piana yarn appears here?

Pure Light Fiber lists new, unused deadstock attributed to Loro Piana, especially cashmere and other fine natural-fibre yarn. Composition, count and metreage are stated on each individual product.

Can you buy Loro Piana yarn as a retail customer?

Availability through Pure Light Fiber depends on independent deadstock lots reaching the secondary market. It is not a permanent mill catalogue, and an identical yarn may not return after it sells out.

Why does the available Loro Piana selection change?

Deadstock is finite by definition. The carousel below reflects the products currently enabled and available rather than displaying discontinued or unavailable inventory.

How should I plan a project with fine cashmere cone yarn?

Use the product's metres per 100g and your pattern's required metreage, then confirm the fabric with a washed swatch. Our cone-yarn substitution guide explains the full process.
