The Cagli based company, which produces both worsted and woollen spun yarns, will reveal its latest Cariaggi Fine Yarns Collection for spring/summer 2013 at Pitti Filati in January 2012. The company, which was founded in 1958, describes its latest collection:

"Once again inspiration is taken from nature and its perfect moods. These prestigious yarns contain reflections of light and its many effects: light from above, from the sky that reflects in the leaves and between the branches of trees; and the light that rebounds off the earth, creating fuller and stronger shades.

The Incredible Lightness of Being is inspired by walks through the woods: peaceful, cool but also stimulating. You can see the light that reflects through the branches and leaves, and you can feel the coolness and lightness of a walk in the shade of these majestic plants.

The colours are inspired by the reflection of trees in water - light, dreamlike and imaginary: a complex and magical study of lights, colours and textures. The main colour scheme is based on a light and subtle colour palette of pale green and bright pastel yellow.

The dominant theme features different palettes for each yarn, bringing out the characteristics of each one: luxury yarns for free time and sport, more solid effects with the blended yarns.

The second theme is a celebration of earth and the richness of its colours. It is entirely inspired by natural pigments and their intensity, giving a strong sense of roots, dexterity and the wonders of mother nature.

Earth and Colours is a powerful theme that includes shaded colour palettes, from full colours to lighter and more ephemeral shades: a visit to the clay fields of southern Europe with their natural ochre pigments that range from browns and reds to yellows. Deep Siena and Madeira brown, with an unusual touch of mustard yellow.

In this case too stories and groups of yarns have been created that are based on different uses, from the free time of an inspired artist to casualwear with a new African touch.

Belize Cotton, a new feature for the first time for S/S 2012, returns in a brand new combination - 90% cashmere and 10% raw used cotton - and a series of 16 very feminine colour mixes. For the S/S 2013 collection Cariaggi will also present an important new project for linen, which will see the best linen produced in Italy and the most precious cashmere combined in an unusual way, thanks to a special and innovative technology."
