Lanificio Dell'Olivo · Bernie 15000 · 1500m/100g (1640yds/3.5oz) · 48% Alpaca (WP) 15% Merino Wool (WV) 37% Polyamide (PA)

Bernie 15000 by Lanificio Dell'Olivo is a premium, airy blend that captures the essence of natural warmth and softness. This yarn features a prominent alpaca halo that creates a soft, hazy surface in the finished fabric. Fine alpaca and merino wool deliver plush warmth and elasticity, while the polyamide core adds stability and durability to such a delicate strand.

Versatile Companion Thread
With its exceptional meterage and expressive halo, Bernie 15000 works beautifully as a companion thread. Held together with a smoother base (merino, wool, cotton, silk, or blends), it adds an elegant alpaca bloom, extra warmth, and a soft-focus finish without noticeable weight.

Care Instructions
Gentle hand wash in lukewarm water
Use a mild detergent suitable for wool and alpaca
Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
Do not wring or tumble dry
Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required
A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Alpaca fibers bloom after washing, filling the fabric and softening stitch definition; larger needles enhance airiness and reduce overall yardage.
