MilleFili – Pigalle | Starry Night
From the iconic Italian mill MilleFili, Pigalle is a luxurious laceweight tweed spun with merino wool, silk, viscose, and polyamide. It combines gentle structure with luminous softness, giving each stitch a hint of elegance and life. This yarn’s refined tweedy texture is perfect for garments where surface interest and comfort go hand in hand.
Starry Night is a deep twilight blue touched with delicate flecks of gold, violet, and ivory — a rich, romantic colorway reminiscent of Van Gogh’s iconic brushstrokes. Just like the painting, it evokes a swirling sense of motion, quiet magic, and bold, emotional beauty.
