Understanding 2/28 nm (Yarn Count & Structure)
The term “2/28 nm” refers to the yarn count and structure. The “2” indicates that the yarn is plied, meaning it is made by twisting two strands together for added strength and durability. The “28 nm” denotes the metric yarn count, signifying that 28,000 meters of single-ply yarn weigh 1 kilogram. This classification points to a fine, lightweight yarn, making it suitable for high-quality, luxurious fabrics that are both soft and durable.

Material Composition & Benefits
This yarn blend consists of 55% recycled silk and 45% recycled cashmere, combining the unique qualities of both fibers:

Recycled Silk (55%): Made from repurposed silk fibers, recycled silk maintains the luxurious feel and natural sheen of silk while reducing waste. It offers excellent breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and a lightweight texture, making garments comfortable to wear. The inclusion of recycled silk helps to create a more sustainable fashion industry by minimizing the environmental impact associated with silk production.

Recycled Cashmere (45%): This fiber is sourced from post-consumer cashmere garments, which are reprocessed to create new yarn. Recycled cashmere retains the softness, warmth, and lightweight properties of traditional cashmere while reducing the demand for new cashmere production. It contributes to sustainability by lowering waste and resource use, offering a luxurious feel without compromising on ethical practices.

Applications & Sustainability
A 2/28 nm 55% recycled silk 45% recycled cashmere blend is ideal for creating luxurious, lightweight garments such as scarves, shawls, and fine-knit sweaters. This blend not only provides a soft, elegant texture and warmth but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable fashion. By using recycled fibers, this yarn reduces environmental impact and promotes a circular economy in the textile industry, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers seeking high-quality, sustainable textiles.
