Noble Fibers
The Cashmere
The excellence of cashmere takes shape through three exceptional yarns: Cashmere 2/28, Shetland and Ultra Fine. Each offers a distinct interpretation of this noble fiber, combining artisanal craftsmanship, innovation and timeless comfort.
Cashmere 2/28
For Malo, Cashmere 2/28 is not simply a yarn, but a timeless tactile experience, where luxury
embraces discretion.
Used in our traditional flat knits, but also our ribbed and cabled pieces.
This sensory journey begins across the unspoiled plateaus of Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi,
where the Hircus Laniger goat produces its precious duvet — an underfleece naturally
designed to protect it from extreme cold.
The purity of this raw material is ensured through
rigorous technical certifications: an extra-fine fiber with an exceptional micron count between
15 and 15.5 microns, and a length reaching up to 40 mm. These precise parameters are what
truly make the difference, guaranteeing knitwear that remains stable over time while
minimizing pilling to the utmost degree.
The exclusive carding process preserves the most authentic essence of the fiber. To maintain its original softness intact, the dyeing process is not applied to the finished yarn, but directly to the loose fiber itself.
This choice allows the color to merge intimately with the structure of the material, respecting the nobility of keratin and giving life to vibrant, luminous, and deeply nuanced shades capable of retaining air between the fingers.
During the spinning phase, the precision of modern technologies yields to the sensitivity of human touch and the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. The result is a
perfect balance of lightness, stability, and warmth: a cloud of pure comfort that envelops the
body in an embrace of understated luxury, designed to transcend time and seasons alike.
We support the SFA (Sustainable Fibre Alliance) standard. For Malo, luxury means respect: for
pastoral communities, for animal welfare, and for the preservation of the fragile ecosystems
that gift us this precious fiber.
Shetland Cashmere
In this yarn, the nobility of cashmere meets the energy of the elements. This carded yarn
represents a distinctive and charismatic interpretation of cashmere: a perfect balance
between absolute softness and a bold character, inspired by the timeless atmospheres of the
Northern lands.
Unlike more traditional knitwear, this cashmere celebrates a richly textured
aesthetic. Thanks to a special carding process, the preciousness of the fiber acquires an
authentic character that recalls Anglo-Saxon heritage, while preserving exceptional lightness
and softness.
The surface, distinguished by its natural loftiness, becomes an invitation to
touch. The soul of this fiber is reflected in a color palette that pays tribute to unspoiled nature.
Every shade evokes a journey toward untamed horizons. The natural tones of the Irish
landscape are enriched with nuances inspired by wild and untouched scenery, where nature
reveals all its beauty and serenity.
Choosing this cashmere means embracing a sporty and dynamic vision of luxury. It is knitwear designed for those who move effortlessly between nature and the city with the same understated elegance, seeking a garment capable of expressing character, resilience, and incomparable softness.
