Hand craftsmanship, advanced technology, and continuous development are the core values guiding Filati Biagioli Modesto throughout its century-long history—and have made it a global leader in carded yarn production. In 1965, Filati Biagioli Modesto was the first company to spin cashmere at a 2/28,000 gauge—a standard that still defines fine knitwear today.
The dyeing facility at Filati Biagioli Modesto was established to achieve maximum quality control and complete creative freedom. Spread over 3,000 m², the plant handles fiber and yarn dyeing as well as special finishing treatments. Years of research, proprietary know-how, and highly skilled personnel have allowed the company to refine dye recipes and craft stunning fiber combinations that capture the consumer’s heart.
The company’s story began a century ago with its founder’s passion for producing carded yarn of unparalleled quality. In the 1960s, Modesto Biagioli—driven by a love of cashmere—transformed his father’s small yarn-trading business into what is now Filati Biagioli Modesto.
Driven by the need to guarantee product excellence, Modesto traveled the world to find the finest fiber sources. He journeyed to China and Mongolia, personally selecting premium fibers in cooperation with breeders with whom he formed long-term, trust-based relationships.
From that time to the present, the company has sourced noble fibers—cashmere, silk, camel hair, angora, alpaca, linen, and merino wool—processing each batch entirely in Italy to ensure the traditional “Made in Italy” promise.
Fueled by passion and rigorous staff selection, the company has become a unique creative hub, staying in step with market innovations and the exacting demands of haute couture. For Filati Biagioli Modesto, developing a new yarn is an emotional, almost magical creative moment—the driving force behind every collection. Generations of expertise, experiments, and successes are preserved in the archives, which house tens of thousands of dye-recipe formulas.
For many years, Filati Biagioli Modesto has specialized in the production of carded yarn. By overseeing the entire process of transforming raw materials into yarn, the company guarantees that all its customers receive excellent-quality products that are 100% made in Italy.
