Description
GLICINE is a beautifully soft Italian yarn manufactured by Filati Naturali in Italy, created from a refined blend of merino, cashmere, and polyamide. It feels exceptionally light in the hand and has a soft, fluffy appearance that gives the yarn warmth, comfort, and a fuller look than a plain smooth lace yarn.
From the way this yarn looks and feels, it is especially appealing for soft, airy knitwear with warmth and comfort. It has a fluffy, lightweight character and noticeable stretchiness, which makes it attractive for sweaters, scarves, shawls, and other pieces where softness and a gently expanded fabric matter.
