The Yahav Beaded Top is hand-crocheted by artisans using a mix of 100% cashmere and a silk yarn that has tiny glass beads spun into it. The beads rise to the surface of the stitch, giving the garment a shimmer. The fit is slim.

To create our beaded mesh styles, we start by custom making the yarn. Each glass bead is individually threaded onto silk and then spun with 100% cashmere to hold the beads in place. The yarn is then hand-crocheted by artisans. The beads feel cool on the skin and give the fabric weight and swing.

Details:

• 100% Cashmere (Mongolia/China). Dying/weaving/finishing in Italy.

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.

This luxury yarn manufacturer was founded in 1928. Its yarn collections are all produced internally at two factories, where they own and oversee the whole production cycle. They comply with the following standards: Textile and Health Association – Member, Masters of Linen and European Flax (LINIFICO) – Certified, European Federation of Flax and Hemp (CELC) – Member, Sustainable Fiber Alliance (SFA) for cashmere.

This garment was produced at a family-owned factory in China. The factory complies with all local labor and safety regulations.
