Profilo – Delave | White Metallic
Delave by Profilo is a refined Italian yarn spun from viscose, cotton, and silk — a graceful blend that offers lightness, elegance, and a subtle shimmer. Its soft hand and natural drape make it ideal for garments that float and flow, while the ultra-fine structure invites creative multi-strand combinations. The White Metallic shade radiates a pearly luminosity — serene, polished, and effortlessly luxurious.
