SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS-SWISS CASHMERE/SILK

Truly an amazing yarn in the Yarngasmic category!!! Worthy of triple exclamation marks. Perfect for lace and/or garments. I just go all wurbly over this yarn. 65%cashmere/35% silk, spun with a lot of magic by Swiss yarn geniuses. 400m per 100gm skein. Slightly above a 4ply weight. Is this as good as it gets? Must be very close. See what you think. One skein is enough for a scarf
2 skeins a moderate shawl .

This gorgeous combination is one strand of silk wrapped round with one strand on very fine kid mohair, very soft and just gorgeous to knit with. Approx 350m per 100gm skein. Knits up at around a DK weight. I love this yarn 1 skein is enough for a scark.

Heavy Laceweight -also fine but approx 930m per 100gms 3 ply yarn
For me is this is close to as good to it gets for cashmere, the finest top of the range cashmere, super soft and serious quality.
Cashmere needs to be treated with respect but treat it with respect and it will make you very very happy when you knit with it. Juts lovely to knit with.
