This soft and beautiful yarn is used in Katrina King's "Wandering Paths Stole" to Knit project in Piecework magazine Fall 2018 issue, page 74-78.  Katrina's stole weighs 81 grams.  A 95g skein will have sufficient yardage to knit this project.  Project photography by Piecework magazine, George Boe, photographer, styled by Ann Swanson.

The high Himalayan Mountains of Asia are the origin of the Cashmere goat. It is the fine undercoat ranging in colour from deep brown, grey and white we prize for its feel.  The costly dehairing process is necessary to separate the guard hairs from the undercoat before spinning.

Cashmere is luxuriously soft, fine and lofty providing lightweight warmth. The addition of silk makes cashmere more affordable and durable as well as adding luster. Cashmere blended with silk gives silk a downy softness. The yarn produced by this luscious marriage weaves and kints like a dream.
