Italian Cashmere
Our cashmere is imported from Italy and it is the best quality cashmere we have seen in a long time. It comes in two weights — both weights are very well suited for weaving, knitting and crochet. After being wet-finished, this yarn bloom beautifully and becomes even softer to the touch — particularly the 2/60 weight.
Both weights can be used in the warp. They are also excellent for knitting and crocheting — alone or together with another yarns such as one of our metallics.
2/28 is sold on 1 oz ball (440 yards). Epi: 20-25
2/60 is sold in 1/2 oz cones (445 yards). Epi: 40-50
These three woven samples used the same warp (2/60 cashmere) and the same structure (huck lace).
The third sample from L also has 1/4″ Italian organzine at the selvedges.
