Description
Extremely versatile pure cashmere yarn
Di Lusso (meaning Luxury in Italian) is a pure cashmere yarn for knitting and crochet spun exclusively for us in Italy. It is buttery soft and is perfect for even the most delicate skins. It can be used to make a wide range of adult accessories, baby items and also and makes wonderful heirloom knits. Di Lusso is a ‘baby/sport/5ply’ weight yarn which is between a DK and a 4Ply but it is extremely versatile can actually be knitted as either, working well on any needle between a 3.25 – 4mm.
Di Lusso comes in 12 colours, chosen very carefully from a palette of more than 300, to be contemporary and timeless, and to work well together. As cashmere is an expensive yarn I created Di Lusso in 25g balls which means you can more easily create multi coloured items without such a big outlay, If you’re looking for inspiration we have a wide range of kits and patterns to support this yarn.

I have used this Di Lusso pure cashmere before and absolutely love it, pure luxury, lovely to knit with, soft and warm. I use 4mm needles and it works up beautifully. It says hand wash but i have machine washed on the hand wash cycle (without fabric conditioner) and the garment came out the same as it went in, no shrinkage! The best cashmere and good price for such quality wool ❤️

Softest yarn and a dream to knit with.

I loved crocheting my scarf with this wool. It was easy to work with and produced a lovely finish to my final scarf. I also washed it when finished, as I usually do, and it washes beautifully and is wonderfully soft. Very soft and cosy.

I ordered three balls of wool in different colours with a view to trialling it for a crochet project. I’ve used one ball and found it soft, strong and easy to work with. The colours are gorgeous and all appear as on the website. I shall now order more and begin my throw!

After seeing the reduction in price of the De Lusso cashmere, I decided that it was time to treat myself to this ‘longed for and lusted after’ yarn. I was undecided about which colour to choose to knit myself the wrapdigan and eventually settled on raspberry. I was more than delighted when it arrived. It feels so soft and the colour is really rich. I can’t wait to start my new project.

Dear Rebecca,
I am so sorry that your items took so long to arrive. I had to send them using an International Courier as ALL post offices in West London were closed for around 4 weeks. I can see that they have arrived now, and do hope that you are happy with them.
Once again, so sorry for the delay but it was out of my hands…
Best wishes

My yarn arrived very quickly and I loved the little enclosed gifts to make it so personal. I only bought 2 balls of yarn so I could try it with something small for a very special person. The yarn is beautiful to work with and looks lovely crocheted. I will be ordering more very soon and may try knitting next. Thank you Abbey!

This is quite simply the best wool I have ever used. If only I could afford to knit with it every day.

Hi Abby,
Thank you so much for the wonderful parcel which arrived this morning. I am absolutely delighted with the beautiful cashmere yarn and the little goodies in the bag! I ordered the coal colour to make a large scarf/shawl and also wanted to see the alabaster colour. I will definitely order a substantial amount of alabaster as well as I love the natural colour.
I am so glad to have found you through my searches for luxury yarns.
Many, many thanks.
Best wishes, Katie

This is by far the most luxurious wool I have ever used. I loved the feel of it as it slipped through my fingers, and the finished garment is beautiful. Although they are only 25g balls it seemed to go on for ever. Thank you.
Jacqueline –
So so pleased with this di Lusso Cashmere Wool .. i had been waiting for the postman this morning and wasnt disappointed at all ! Pure luxury! I chose the shade called alabaster and love it. There was a couple of little extra surprises in the package too.

I’ve used blue, yellow and coral yarns for a couple of projects for my little daughter – warm trouser & leggins, as I was travelling to the very cold place, and couldn’t find anything warm for her to wear under the trousers/jeans or on their own with the collant. The yarn itself is of a very high quality and of beautiful colours, and the delivery was very fast. Abby makes a very nice packages with a little surprise for you. ? overall very pleased with the quality and experience.

I have finally found the perfect yarn to make things for all my grand-children! My daughter is having twins in 4 months and my daughter in law has just had a baby boy so i will be busy knitting for many months if not years to come! Di Lusso is the most lovely yarn I have ever used. It is very even and has a wonderful stitch definition and as described works well with many different patterns. I even used a dk pattern, used a size down in needle and just made it 1 size larger than i wanted and it came out perfectly.
At some point I even hope to be able to make something for myself!
