What is Pure Cashmere?

Rowan Pure Cashmere is a light from Rowan. Composition: 100% cashmere. One skein holds 137 m of yarn and weighs 25 g.

How the yarn behaves

Gently plied pure cashmere, soft enough for next-to-skin pieces and with a quiet matt sheen rather than a shine. Excellent stitch definition for cables and lace, surprising given how soft the fibre is. Drapes more than wool but holds shape better than 100% silk. Pills more than fibre blends, especially in friction areas — a sweater shaver or comb keeps it tidy. Discontinued line, so often bought as deep stash. Hand wash cool with cashmere/wool detergent, lay flat, no wringing.
