Knit cozy, luxurious sweaters, cardigans & accessories with this cloud-like cashmere yarn. Spun with fibers sheared from the undercoat of the Cashmere goat, this bulky weight yarn has a unique chain construction that keeps it light & airy, as well as helps garments to maintain shape. Additional loftiness is achieved through this construction that "knits" the roving into yarn vs. spinning it. The addition of a small amount of nylon adds durability & strength. Enjoy the excitement of knitting with the fun, self-patterning colorways that create soft, painterly stripes. The stripes are given even more character with subtle dappled layers.
