About the Fiber

Gentile di Luciana is a 2-ply carded sport weight yarn that is gently twisted. Knitting with this extraordinarily soft, voluminous, and light yarn is a true pleasure. 

Efforts have been dedicated to recovering the last flocks of the pure breed and initiating a biodiversity preservation program. Choosing Gentile di Lucania yarn means more than acquiring wool; you're wrapping yourself in history, tradition, and a commitment to a brighter, sustainable future.
