Zegna Baruffa Yarn

Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia is an Italian spinner known for yarns for knitwear, including its Cashwool line. Pure Light Fiber offers selected new, unused Zegna Baruffa yarn when suitable deadstock lots become available.

Zegna Baruffa yarn for hand knitting

Many Zegna Baruffa yarns were developed for industrial knitwear production. Use the listed yarn count and metres per 100g to plan a hand-knitting gauge, and hold multiple strands together when a thicker fabric is required.

Because each deadstock lot is finite, swatch first and buy enough for the complete project. Matching yarn may not be available again after a lot sells out.

Before ordering

  • Check composition and metres per 100g
  • Choose the number of strands for the intended gauge
  • Wash and measure a generous swatch
  • Allow extra yarn for swatching and adjustments

Zegna Baruffa yarn questions

What is Zegna Baruffa yarn known for?

Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia produces Italian yarn for knitwear and is particularly associated with fine merino qualities, including Cashwool. Each product page identifies the exact fibre, count and construction of the available lot.

Can Zegna Baruffa industrial yarn be used by hand knitters?

Yes. Suitability depends on the individual count and construction. Fine yarn may be used alone or in multiple strands; use the listed metres per 100g and a washed swatch to choose the fabric you want.

Is the Zegna Baruffa selection permanent?

No. Pure Light Fiber offers independent deadstock lots, so the colours and quantities shown below are limited and may not return after they sell out.
