CASHCOT BIO by Lana Gatto, Italy is a refined summer yarn from the Classic Collection, Summer Yarns 2026, created from 90% Organic Cotton and 10% Cashmere. With approximately 170 meters / 186 yards per 50 g, this fine sport-weight yarn combines the breathable comfort of organic cotton with a touch of cashmere for added softness and a more elevated hand. The result is a yarn that feels fresh, gentle, and beautifully wearable for warm-weather garments and light layering pieces.

What makes CASHCOT BIO especially appealing is its balance of practicality and quiet luxury. The organic cotton keeps the yarn breathable, clean, and easy to wear, while the cashmere softens the overall feel and gives the fabric a more refined finish than a standard summer cotton. This makes it a beautiful choice for buyers who want natural-fiber comfort with a little extra softness and elegance.
