If the softness of pure, premium Australian Merino does not satisfy you, try Lana Grossa Pashmina. This yarn is luxuriously soft, slightly stretchable because of tight s-twist that helps to make fashionable garments, and is suitable for hand knit and crochet fashion of any kind, for ladies and men: sweaters, jackets, waistcoats, wraps, skirts, dresses, accessories of any type, etc. Garments made of Pashmina drape exceptionally well and are carefree. Note that cashmere processing costs are high, and to reduce them, true cashmere is usually blended with other fibers.
For information: The term "pashmina" refers to superior quality cashmere, textiles made from it, or pashmina goats (a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas) and their wool. This type of wool has been used for thousands of years (from the 15th century) to make high-quality shawls that bear the same name. (The finest pashmina shawls are made in Kashmir by specially skilled artisans. The completion of one shawl can take up to six years). * Similar yarn: Cool Wool Merino 2000, Cloud 9 FIBRE: 78% Merino extra fine, 22% Premium Cashmere YARN WEIGHT: Light Worsted TENSION: 10x10cm (4"): 20 sts/ 24 rows NEEDLES: 4.25 - 4.5 mm (US No. 6-7) LENGTH: approx. 125 m / 139 yds BALL WEIGHT: 50g Shade Card 1 | Shade Card 2 PATTERNS: Linea Rossa No. 4, 5, 6, Filati Men No. 4, Filati Handknitting No. 42 Sample patterns for cashmere Price: $19.99 IN STOCK: 03 Vieux Rose, 05 Baby Pink (7+10 balls), 06 Baby Blue, 10 Wine (4 balls), 11 Terracotta (20+1 balls), 15 Tan (16 balls), 18 Teal, 38 Curry Request colour description or quantity » Lana Grossa Yarns Index » Garment Care:  |
