Yarn Art. RECORD: where cashmere meets structure

There are yarns created simply to be worked.
And then there are yarns created to be felt, understood, experienced.

Art. RECORD belongs to the second category.

It's not just a yarn. It's a balance. It's the exact point where the softness of cashmere meets the structure of merino, creating something that is neither too delicate nor too technical. It's the yarn that allows you to work with confidence, but with that feeling under your fingers that reminds you, with each stitch, that you are working with a noble fiber.

Composition: the secret is in the balance

RECORD is composed of:

• 97% cashmere
• 3% merino

A percentage that might seem almost symbolic, but in reality, it changes everything.

Cashmere brings softness, warmth, and lightness. It's the fiber that cuddles, that envelops, that makes every garment intimate.

Merino, even in a small percentage, does a crucial job:
it provides hold, stability, and resistance.

It's that small presence that allows the yarn to be more "manageable," more reliable over time, less prone to sagging. You don't feel it, but you perceive it as you work.

Nm 5/12 count: what it really means

When we read Nm 5/12, we are not just reading a number.
We are reading the character of the yarn.

It means it is a composite yarn, with a significant structure, designed to create volume, presence, and three-dimensionality.

It's a yarn that is seen.
It doesn't disappear into the garment; it builds it.

With this count, the final result will be:

• full
• substantial
• soft but with body

It's the kind of yarn that transforms even the simplest stitch into something visually striking.

Working tools: total freedom

One of the great strengths of Art. RECORD is its versatility.

It can be worked with:

• 5–6 needles
• 5–6 crochet hook
• Gauge 3 knitting machine

This means one thing:
it doesn't limit you.

You can choose your working method, your pace, your style.
The yarn adapts.

By hand, it offers immediate satisfaction: it grows quickly, takes shape before your eyes, and instantly gives a sense of accomplishment.

By machine, it is perfect for structured, prominent garments with a clear presence.

How it behaves during processing

There are yarns that glide.
And then there are yarns that accompany.

RECORD is not slippery, not unstable.
It has a soft but secure grip.

This means:

• greater control during processing
• fewer errors
• more precise stitches

And above all:
a constant feeling of quality in your hands.

The final result: presence and comfort

A garment made with this yarn does not go unnoticed.

Not because it's flashy.
But because it has visual weight.

It's the kind of garment that, as soon as you pick it up, communicates value.

At the same time, it retains everything one expects from cashmere:

• softness
• natural warmth
• comfort on the skin

It's the classic balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Ideal for what?

Art. RECORD excels in projects where the yarn needs to be the protagonist.

Perfect for:

• statement sweaters
• structured cardigans
• voluminous accessories (scarves, hats, neck warmers)
• high-comfort winter garments

It is less suitable for very fine or light work.
Here, space is needed. Substance is needed.

Who it's suitable for

This yarn is for those who:

• want to see immediate results
• love substantial work
• seek uncompromising quality
• want a yarn that "responds" as they work

It is perfect for both hand knitting and machine knitting.

Art. RECORD is not a neutral yarn.
It's not one of those you forget.

It's a yarn that stays with you.
In the work. In the garment. In memory.

Because when you find the right balance between material, structure, and feel…
you're no longer just working with yarn.

You're building something with character.
