Cashmere, Luxury and Warmth
Cashmere comes from the Kashmir (or Pashmina) goat that is native to the Himalayas. The Kashmir goat has two coats – the coarse outer coat, called the ‘beard,’ and the finer undercoat. Both of these coats are combed from the goats once a year and the fibres are separated. Each goat produces just a few ounces of the cherished undercoat each year
The fibres in each cashmere garment are incredibly fine and lightweight, which allows them to trap warm air much more efficiently than other kinds of wool can. The insulation capacity of cashmere is three times that of normal wool, so it will regulate your body temperature and keep you warm. The uniquely small diameter of the fibres lends cashmere an ultra fine texture that makes it feel super soft (and never scratchy) against the skin.
Knitting with cashmere yarn is usually a dream – it’s so soft and luscious in the hands. There are so many knitting patterns that would benefit from using a cashmere yarn or blend. Anything that’s close to the face or skin – like cowls, hats, and mittens are a great choice. The same goes for sweaters, shawls and wraps, which are absolutely luxurious.
Trend setting Sophie Scarf is perfect with any cashmere yarn! It is worked back and forth in one piece, from tip to tip in garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges. The smaller size Sophie Scarf reaches around the neck once, while the larger size can wrap around the neck twice.
