PIARA
Material: 100% Cashmere
Yarn count: 2/26
PIARA is a representative product of Toyo Spinning Co., Ltd., created from carefully selected high-quality cashmere raw wool, years of cultivated technology, and a meticulous manufacturing process.
High-quality raw wool is carefully spun over time, and the company's unique low-temperature processing technology minimizes damage to the fibers, maximizing the natural softness and smoothness of cashmere.
PIARA has a high degree of yarn uniformity and minimal surface irregularities, resulting in a very beautiful finish for the knitted "stitches." Additionally, it is less prone to distortion from wear and washing, and over time, it develops a unique texture, making it a high-quality cashmere yarn that can be cherished for a long time.

■Notes when using industrial yarn
- Specifications differ from craft yarn balls
- Oils and odors may remain
- The yarn may feel stiff
- Due to the thin yarn, it may break if pulled too hard
- Fulling (washing finish) is necessary after knitting
Industrial yarns are finished with oil or wax applied during the spinning process. Therefore, they may feel somewhat stiff before knitting or retain a unique smell. This is a manufacturing characteristic and does not indicate a quality issue.
To bring out the original texture, a washing process called "felting" is necessary after knitting. Wash with lukewarm water and neutral detergent to remove any oils or waxes, and add moderate friction to allow the yarn to expand, revealing softness, elasticity, and strength. Industrial threads are designed with the assumption that a final wash will be performed.
Also, industrial threads often have very fine specifications, and if knitted as is, they will result in a thin lace-like fabric. It is also characterized by the ability to adjust thickness by using multiple strands or designing according to the intended use.
The knitted fabric will shrink due to felting, and its texture will change significantly. Since the finish may vary depending on the strength of the twist and the material, it is recommended to knit a bit loosely. To accurately understand the finished dimensions and texture, it is advisable to create a swatch (test knit) in advance and check the gauge after washing.
Other notes
- No returns or exchanges (except for initial defects)
- The color may appear differently depending on your monitor and environment. Additionally, even with the same color name or number, the shade may vary. Please note that these reasons do not qualify as initial defects, and returns or exchanges cannot be accepted.
The product delivered will be in small balls. Please check the reference image for the shape (the color may differ). If you order multiple of the same thread, it may be delivered wrapped in a paper tube instead of in balls.

How to wash cashmere
How to wash cashmere
-----------------------
Tips for Washing Cashmere in a Washing Machine
- Water temperature: Below 30°C
- Detergent: Neutral
- Wash mode: Delicate/Dry
- Laundry mesh bag: Place one item per bag, up to two items in the machine
- Drying: Flat in the shade (avoid tumble drying)
- Ironing: Medium heat, steam iron
Water Temperature: Below 30°C While warmer water can help remove dirt more effectively, it can also damage delicate fibers. The ideal temperature for washing cashmere is around 20°C, with a maximum of 30°C. This ensures that the detergent works effectively without harming the fabric.
Neutral Detergent Though alkaline detergents are powerful cleaners, they can be harsh on cashmere fibers. To preserve the color and texture, use a neutral detergent designed for delicate fabrics.
Minimize Friction Cashmere is prone to tangling, pilling, and shrinking due to friction. To prevent this, use a gentle wash cycle like "Delicate" or "Dry." Place each item in a laundry mesh bag and limit the load to two items at a time.
Dry Flat in the Shade Always dry cashmere flat in the shade. Hanging it on a hanger can cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape due to the weight of the water. Use a flat drying net or spread the garment on a clean surface, ensuring air circulation. Never use a tumble dryer, as it can cause shrinkage.
Ironing Tips If ironing is necessary, use a medium heat setting with steam. Gently move the iron so that it hovers slightly above the fabric. Avoid pressing too hard or holding the iron in one spot for too long.
Avoid Drum-Type Washing Machines Drum-type washing machines generate higher friction, which can damage cashmere. It's best to avoid using them for delicate fabrics like cashmere.
