CASHMERE LIGHT COLOR

hand wash

Worsted

Experience the volume and lightness of CASHMERE LIGHT - now also available in a multi-coloured version. Such loftiness is achieved not by spinning the cashmere roving, but by knitting it loosely with a little nylon for strength to produce a chainnette yarn. Let your needles glide through a bright cloud of cashmere! This exquisite material is especially soft and rare, being obtained from the undercoat of the cashmere goat.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1484 yarns · 57 brands · 142 without gauge · 344/1490 gauge rows missing row count.
