Mill Direct Yarn Cones from Italian Mills

Pure Light Fiber purchases the yarn in this collection directly from the mills that produce it. Explore luxury Italian yarn on cones, with fibre compositions, colours and yarn constructions for a range of knitting projects. The current mill-direct selection features Cariaggi yarn.

Discover Cariaggi Cashmere, Silk Blends and Baby Camel

Choose Cariaggi Piuma 3200 for airy 100% cashmere with a chainette construction; Bliss for a blend of 70% cashmere and 30% baby alpaca; Bouclé 4000 for textured 72% cashmere and 28% silk; or Timeless for soft 100% baby camel. Each product page gives the composition and metres per 100g so you can compare yarns before choosing.

Choosing and Working with Cone Yarn

Use the Material, Brand and Yarn Weight filters to narrow the collection. Check the product's meterage, construction and recommended use, rather than choosing by yarn weight alone: a lofty chainette or bouclé can knit differently from a smooth yarn with similar meterage. Wash and block a swatch to check gauge, softness and drape before starting your project. For machine knitting or weaving, check that the yarn and construction suit your equipment and intended fabric.

The requested amount of these Cariaggi yarns is wound onto a cone. Check the quantity and pricing unit on the product page when calculating how much to order. Our yarn substitution calculator can help you compare meterage for a project.

Mill Direct Cone Yarn FAQ

What does mill direct mean?

It means Pure Light Fiber purchases the yarn directly from the mill that produces it. This collection is organised by that sourcing route. You can also browse our separate deadstock yarn collection.

Which Cariaggi yarns can I buy?

The current collection includes Piuma cashmere, Bliss cashmere and baby alpaca, Bouclé cashmere and silk, and Timeless baby camel. Available colours and quantities are shown in the product listings above.

Can I hand knit with yarn on a cone?

Yes. Yarn on a cone can be used for hand knitting. Choose a suitable needle size and make a washed, blocked swatch; the construction and fibre blend affect the finished fabric as well as the meterage.
