TORINO is a Bouclé SUPERLIGHT yarn made of 80% superfine merino wool with 18.5 microns and 20% silk. The carded yarn with 202 yds in only 25g (0.88 oz) gets its unique lightness through an innovative manufacturing method by which the temperature-regulating and breathable properties are enhanced.
The mulesing-free raw merino wool for TORINO is sourced from selected Australian shepherds and the mulberry silk used comes from China. We have it spun and dyed by a family-run traditional company in Italy. This yarn is certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Product Class I (textiles and materials for infants and toddlers up to three years of age).
TORINO is an exceptionally luxurious and versatile Bouclé yarn that feels wonderfully soft on the skin. Knit with one-strand, it's perfect for delicate shawls and incomparably soft and lightweight garments and accessories for year-round wear. Worked double-stranded, TORINO is the ideal choice for designs that are warm, cozy, and whose texture makes it truly special.
