Traveling to us from lovely Denmark, Knitting for Olive yarns are ethically created with high quality, natural fibers. Founded by a mother & daughter, the family business is passionate about responsible yarns that inspire & bring joy to knitters around the world. The Story of Compatible Cashmere: "Our Cashmere comes from goats in Mongolia and China. In Mongolia the goats move free in the grasslands with their herdsmen who live as nomads. In China the goats are kept and fed on farms from winter until rain falls and make the grassland green. When the grass is grown long enough, the animals are let free during the day and return to the farms for the night. The farms and herdsmen are visited twice a year to ensure that the animals are kept and treated respectfully." Spun with luxuriously soft, 100% cashmere, this lace weight yarn delivers smooth, polished stitches. Light & airy, the yarn is beautiful for lace wraps, cowls, mitts & hats, as well as extremely fine gauge sweaters & cardigans. Hold the yarn alone, hold double or pair with another yarn to add a sumptuous feel. It is also wonderful paired with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair. The relaxing palette includes a curated selection of wearable, nature-inspired neutral & soft colorways.
