G&G Filati · Eucalipto 8800 · 880m/100g (963yds/3.5oz) · 100% Eucalyptus (Eu)

Eucalipto 8800 by G&G Filati is a pure eucalyptus fiber yarn of exceptional refinement — smooth, naturally silky, and graced with a delicate scatter of holographic sequins that catch light with quiet precision. Eucalyptus fiber is one of the most elegant plant-based materials available: naturally soft, cool to the touch, and with a subtle luster that is entirely its own.

The thread itself is clean and even, with a fluid drape that sets eucalyptus apart from cotton and most other plant fibers. The holographic sequins are spaced with restraint — present enough to add dimension and sparkle, sparse enough to remain elegant. The result is a yarn that is genuinely refined: natural, luminous, and quietly spectacular.

Eucalipto 8800 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding eucalyptus fiber's natural sheen and a touch of holographic sparkle to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 880m/100g, Eucalipto 8800 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined summer sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and any piece where natural fiber elegance and subtle sparkle define the design.

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Eucalyptus fiber may relax and drape further after washing, altering gauge and hand feel. Accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates across all strand counts.
