Pascuali yarns in merino, cashmere and plant fibers

Pascuali natural yarns from cashmere to plant fibers

Pascuali yarns are made from natural fibers with no synthetic content. The range goes from merino wool, cashmere, alpaca and yak to cotton and other plant-based yarns. Many yarns are GOTS certified or come from organic animal husbandry, and according to the manufacturer the wool is mulesing-free.

Choosing between animal and plant fibers

Merino is soft, elastic and versatile – for sweaters, hats and baby items. Cashmere and yak are especially fine and warm and suit shawls, scarves and light sweaters. Alpaca is soft, drapes beautifully and is very warm. Plant-based yarns are cool and smooth, suit summer pieces and are a vegan alternative. Luxury animal fibers such as cashmere or yak are more delicate than sturdy sheep's wool, so more durable yarns are better for pieces that get heavy wear, such as gloves or socks. The certification that applies to a yarn is stated with each product.

• Merino for sweaters, hats and baby items
• Cashmere and yak for shawls and scarves
• Alpaca for warm pieces with a soft drape
• Plant-based yarns as a vegan alternative

Tip: Hand wash cashmere and yak in lukewarm water with wool wash, then press the water out in a towel instead of wringing. Dry the piece flat so it keeps its shape.
