Loading...Ghost is a yarn that works on the idea of material subtraction, where plant fiber is reinterpreted into an extremely light, airy and contemporary structure. Its composition combines cotton and a technical polyamide/polyester component, creating a balance between naturalness and structural performance. The result is a textile material that does not build mass, but space: the yarn is thin, fluid and visually “suspended,” capable of generating light, semi-transparent surfaces. The cotton base provides comfort and stability, while the technical component introduces strength and a feeling of controlled artificial lightness, typical of yarns designed for visual effects and subtle textures. Ghost is designed for a contemporary design that works by layering, transparencies and voids: a yarn that does not fill, but builds atmosphere.
Ghost is a technical yarn made from a ribbon around which a very thin gauze is built so evenly that it is imperceptible. The result of this combination is a smooth, flat, bright, silky, crisp ribbon that slips between the fingers and is very pleasant to work with because it flows. The impression is similar to raffia because the end result is stiff and consistent but with one main difference: GHOST is faster to work than raffia.

Raw materials used in DHG's yarns are selected and purchased from areas of the world where each specific fiber expresses the best natural and performance qualities. Depending on the type, the fibers come from vocated and traditionally specialized regions, chosen to ensure high standards of purity, fineness and textile performance. Once selected, the fibers enter a transformation process that combines technical expertise and craftsmanship savoir-faire. In fact, yarns such as Ghost are made through careful twisting, much of it performed with a still highly artisanal approach in the textile district of Prato, a historic international center for fiber processing. This balance between global sourcing and local processing allows the characteristics of each fiber to be maximized, resulting in yarns that combine quality, identity, and manufacturing tradition.
With the loom: we worked the yarn with comb-loom 40:10 (4 threads/cm). Very slippery yarn to be worked preferably in combination with other yarns. Not suitable for beginners. To be used for fashion accessories.
Tips for working and care.
Our colors generally have high light fastness and wash fastness. Exceptions are fluorescent colors, which have low light fastness and may release color in the presence of alkaline or harsh soaps and with prolonged washing. The same applies to dark, bright colors. In all these cases, it is essential to test a small sample before starting the project, especially if these materials are combined with raw or light-colored fibers. In any case, it is always a good idea to dry artifacts away from direct sunlight, preferably in semi-shade.
A practical tip: Buying balls or spools of different baths can cause what is known as the barred effect: subtle variations in shade that seem invisible when comparing balls and spools, but become apparent once worked. Therefore, always be sure to buy some yarn in excess of what is needed for your project. We will be sure to send you spools and balls of the same lot.
