G&G Filati · Tagliatino · 480m/100g (525yds/3.5oz) · 100% Cotton (Co)

Tagliatino in its 480m/100g construction is a pure cotton lash yarn with a light, airy character perfectly suited to warm-weather knitting. Fine cotton lashes spring freely from a slender core thread, creating a soft, feathery surface with an open texture that breathes with the body and moves with ease.

100% cotton keeps the composition clean and natural — breathable, honest, and unpretentious. The lash structure at this weight is delicate and nimble, producing fabric with a gentle halo and organic warmth that heavier constructions cannot replicate. Light enough for the finest summer pieces, textured enough to stand entirely on its own.

Tagliatino 480 works beautifully solo and as a companion thread, adding cotton's natural matte texture and a feathery lash halo to any combination.

Versatile Use

Designed for open, relaxed knitting and crochet, Tagliatino 480 works in 1 or 2 strands. Larger needles than the meterage suggests are essential — the lash needs room to open fully and breathe. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for summer tops, lightweight cardigans, beach cover-ups, shawls, and casual warm-weather garments where texture and lightness define the piece.

Care Instructions

Machine wash gentle cycle at 30°C or hand wash in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for cotton

Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat

Do not wring or twist

Iron at medium temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Cotton has no natural elasticity and may relax after washing, altering both gauge and the lash effect. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use — open gauge is key to this yarn's character.
