Details and benefits

✨ This velvety yarn, slightly lighter than other bases, has a classic twist and absorbs the dye perfectly, allowing the speckles and shades. Once knitted, it offers a sharp point definition and a soft texture, ideal for clothing, accessories, or even luxury socks on a tight gauge (2.25 mm needles recommended).

💫 Knitted alone, CALISTA creates refined and comfortable pieces. Combined with a yarn mohair & silk like ISOLDA or CELESTE, it brings a extra softness and silkiness, perfect for airy, warm and luxurious creations.

Ideal for:

  • Delicate lace projects
  • Fine sweaters and lightweight tops for all seasons
  • Luxury socks and refined accessories
  • Combinations with mohair & silk yarn for more softness and silkiness

✔Adaptable– can be knitted alone or combined with mohair & silk yarn

Bath and photos

If we have the required number of skeins from the same dye lot, your order will be prepared and shipped as usual. However, online stock may come from different dye lots. In this case, we do not mix lots: we dye a new batch to ensure greater color consistency. Please note that in this specific case, shipping may take up to 2 weeks.

Our skeins are guaranteed to be from the same dye lot for the same color for up to 6 units, depending on the vat capacity and the type of wool. Beyond this quantity, your skeins may come from several dye lots, but they will always be dyed together during the same session to ensure the best possible uniformity.

Each yarn is hand-dyed in my studio in small batches of 6, allowing for strict quality control at every stage and providing intense, semi-solid colors. Each dye lot is fully depleted, and each skein is carefully inspected and rewound. For projects requiring a large length, we recommend alternating the skeins to harmonize the shades. For pre-orders, all skeins are dyed together in the same dye lot.

Please make sure to order a sufficient quantity for your project to achieve a consistent result.


Yarn photos are carefully taken and edited to reflect the colors as accurately as possible, using natural light and a Retina display. Despite this care, slight variations may appear depending on screens and lighting conditions.

Tips and maintenance

Some highly saturated colors, especially yellows and reds, may slightly discolor the wash water without affecting the quality of the yarn. A little white vinegar in the soaking water can prevent this. We wash and rinse each skein carefully, but dark or highly saturated shades may bleed slightly.

It is recommended to wash your finished pieces in cold water with a mild or wool-specific soap.
