Details and benefits

🌿 Sourced from animal-welfare-friendly farms in the Peruvian Andes, this premium baby alpaca, silk and cashmere yarn is hand-dyed in our workshop. Each skein features a subtly nuanced semi-solid colour, bringing brightness and depth to your projects.

✨KASMERA is a precious and refined base, blending baby alpaca, silk and cashmere, three exceptional fibres renowned for their incomparable softness, lightweight warmth and elegant drape. This delicate DK yarn creates a fluid and silky fabric, ideal for comfortable and timeless pieces to wear every day.

Its rich composition gives it a particularly soft feel, perfectly suited for knitwear worn close to the skin, while offering beautiful structure and a naturally elegant finish.

🌿 The presence of natural alpaca brings a subtle depth to the colours: the shades appear rich, nuanced and slightly softened, for a sophisticated and vibrant result after dyeing.

✨ Silk adds brightness and fluidity, while cashmere enhances the feeling of comfort and warmth without weighing down the knitwear.

💫Appearance & finish

The yarn has a slightly satiny finish with a soft and airy drape.
The colours develop with great complexity on this base, giving deep and elegant nuances.

✨ enveloping shawls
✨ soft and refined accessories
✨ comfortable pieces with a fluid drape

Bath and photos

If we have the required quantity of skeins from the same dye bath, your order will be prepared and shipped as normal. However, online stock may come from different dye baths. In this case, we do not mix the batches: we re-dye them to ensure better color consistency. Please note that in this case, shipping may take up to 2 weeks maximum.

Our skeins are guaranteed to come from the same bath for the same color up to a maximum of 6 units, depending on the vat capacity and the type of wool. Beyond this quantity, your skeins may come from several baths, 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 rigorous control at every stage and resulting in intense, semi-solid shades. Each batch is completely exhausted, and each skein is carefully checked and reshaped. For projects requiring long lengths, alternating skeins is recommended to harmonize shades. For pre-orders, all skeins are dyed together in the same batch.

Remember to allow enough for your project to obtain a uniform result.


The yarn photos are carefully taken and edited to best reflect the colors, in natural light and on a Retina display. Despite this precision, slight variations may appear depending on the screen and lighting conditions.

Advice and interviews

Some highly saturated colors, especially yellows and reds, may cause the wash water to run slightly cloudy, but this does not affect the quality of the yarn. A little white vinegar in the soaking water can prevent this effect. We wash and rinse each yarn thoroughly, but dark or highly saturated shades may run slightly.

It is recommended to wash your items in cold water with a mild or special wool soap.
