Pascuali Cashmere Delizia – A sensual indulgence in cashmere
The name Delizia comes from the Italian word for “delight” or “delicacy” – and that’s exactly what this yarn is: a true delight for the senses. Cashmere Delizia is one of Pascuali's most exquisite yarns, combining luxurious softness with an innovative prodcutio technique that makes it truly unique.
This innovative chenille yarn made of pure cashmere is – unlike traditional chainette yarns – made directly from roving yarn. It was developed by Mr. Cariaggi, owner of the renowned Italian spinning mill of the same name, which is partly owned by Chanel and Brunello Cucinelli. Cariaggi produces some of the world’s finest yarns for leading luxury fashion brands and upholds the highest quality standards. The company is also actively committed to environmental protection and holds several certifications, including RAF (Responsible Animal Fiber) and SFA (Sustainable Fibre Alliance).
Cashmere Delizia is made exclusively from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats. The fibers come from goats raised in the highlands of Mongolia – a region renowned for producing exceptionally fine and high-quality cashmere. Both the fiber and the entire production process are SFA-certified. This means the origin of the cashmere and its processing in the mill meet strict environmental, animal welfare, and social responsibility standards. The SFA advocates for sustainable grazing practices, fair working conditions, and the respectful treatment of animals.
Thanks to its unique chenille structure, the yarn is exceptionally lightweight yet voluminous. Although it's knitted with 5 mm needles, you’ll need less yarn compared to conventional cashmere yarns that are worked with 3.5 mm needles. The yarn weight corresponds to a worsted weight with 12 WPI, resulting in a wonderfully soft and even stitch definition.
Cashmere Delizia is ideal for luxurious accessories such as scarves, hats, and cowls, as well as for warm, cozy sweaters and cardigans. It feels incredibly gentle against the skin – a true pampering yarn for special projects.
