Pecci Filati S.R.L. · Genesis 2/14000 · 700m/100g (766yds/3.5oz) · 70% Merino (WV) 30% Alpaca (WP)

Genesis 2/14000 by Pecci Filati S.R.L. is a lace-weight blend of 70% merino and 30% alpaca that earns its name — a yarn of quiet, foundational excellence. The combination of these two fibers produces something greater than either alone: merino brings its refined softness, natural elasticity, and clean, even structure, while alpaca adds an unmistakable silky smoothness, a weightless warmth, and a drape that falls with extraordinary fluidity.

The hand feel is immediately distinctive — silky, almost liquid, with a softness that invites touch and rewards wear. There is no scratchiness, no roughness, no compromise. Just two premium fibers working in perfect balance, producing a thread that feels as refined as it knits.

Genesis 2/14000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, instantly enriching any combination with the silky warmth of merino-alpaca luxury.

Versatile Use

At 700m/100g, Genesis 2/14000 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The merino-alpaca blend maintains its silky softness and fluid drape at every strand count. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where exceptional hand feel and natural warmth define the finished piece.
