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
