100% cashmere sweater30. januar 2007 11:21:03 This sweater is such a pretty colour. After knitting and sewing it together I washed by hand in very hot water and fairy liquid several times to remove the oil. I then spun it for a couple of minutes before putting it in the dryer on hot for about 30mins. It is so soft to touch. It is a size12 and weighs 320 grams.

Comparison of 4/14NM high twist and regular cashmere30. januar 2007 08:00:13 The Irish Hiking Scarf (at top of picture) was knit with 3 strands held together of 2/14NM cashmere using US7/4.5mm needles. The swatch (bottom of picture) was knit from the 4/14NM high twist singles using the same size needles. There's definitely a difference in how well the cables stand out using the 4/14 yarn. Eventhough it may be made of high twist singles, it's still very soft and unmistakenably cashmere. This post relates to the following product: Fingering, DK, Chunky, Aran weights from singles |

DK weight from high twist weaving singles30. januar 2007 07:46:46 The cable swatch in grey is knit from 4/14NM cashmere; 4 strands of 1/14 NM high twist weaving cashmere plied and steam set by Richard. Knit with US7/4.5mm (Addi natura), 22st/18rows, the unwashed swatch measured 9cm/8.5cm. After giving it a not-so-gentle washing in Dawn and putting it in the dryer on medium it measured 10cm/7.5cm (4.5st//8rws to the inch). It's actually very soft, and didn't need much blocking. For comparison, I've included a picture of the swatch beside a scarf knit from Richard's cashmere that wasn't from high twist singles. Used the same size needles and pattern.

Stag scarf30. januar 2007 01:20:10
I knit this scarf using fingering weight (6/28) 100% cashmere yarn. US4 needles were used and the knit pattern is a faux cable pattern. I hanked out and prewashed the yarn before using. I'll second others' comments and say that it's much more pleasant knitting with prewashed yarn. Unfortunately, I don't own a scale, but I guestimate I used approximately 1/3 of a cone. This was such a lovely yarn that I purchased more to make myself a cardigan. This post relates to the following product: 6/28NM and 3/14NM fingering |

Blue Cashmere Scarf29. januar 2007 19:44:37 This scarf and hat (not pictured) were knit on size 6 addi needles, you can see better the lovely colors of the variegation in the yarn. (look in my photo album for shot of the full scarf) It is so soft and this has been washed several times. It came to be washed once already. The length is actually 5.5 feet and that is exactly the amount that Richard sent me as a sample of that color. It is feather and fan pattern from Scarf Style book.

DK Weight yarn29. januar 2007 19:11:51
I used this dk weight yarn, 150g cone, to make 2 hats, and 2 scarves with just a little left over. I used size7 addi needles and washed the items after completion. They came out beautiful and so very soft. One set went to grand son who is 2 years old and he has no problem since they are so soft. This post relates to the following product: 2/7NM dk weight |

Scarf with 4 ply 100% cashmere26. januar 2007 16:09:37 My daughter joined a sorority and wanted a long red scarf with the name of her sorority on it. I crocheted the ends in the letters. I used crochet because that way there would be no traveling stitches during the color changes. Then I switched to US size 3 needles and knit the lace pattern. Washed the scarf in shampoo and rinsed several times. Then the last rinse with conditioner. The scarf has 90 repeats of the pattern and is about 7 feet long. My daughter is 6 feet tall so this will be great for her. I used less than a cone of yarn. The cone was left over from another project so I don't know exactly how much yarn, but at least 1/2 of cone when into this scarf. |
Shawl in 2/16NM 4ply weight cashmere (Kingfisher)23. januar 2007 20:50:04 The pattern is "Lace Leaf Shawl" by Fibertrends, knitted on 3.75mm needles and used about 75g of yarn. It was my first time using this yarn, and I was really pleased with it, and the way it bloomed after washing was almost magical! |

BonBon Pink Silk Bookmark19. januar 2007 19:24:11
I knit this little bookmark as a swatch using the 2/28 laceweight silk which I had Richard wind as 3 strands together. This is the BonBon shade of pink that has garnered so much discussion on the Yahoo Group. I used 2.75mm (US2) needles and cast on 17 stitches. The border is knit in moss st. and the lace is a horseshoe pattern. The final bookmark measured 7.5 x 2" for a row gauge of 8.5 st/" This yarn is very smooth and soft to the touch, but the resultant fabric has excellent body and drape--just perfect for a summer top! There is more detailed information about my experience knitting this silk book mark on my blog at www.beadntat.blogspot.com The bottom line, I give this fiber a 2 thumbs up. If you are fortunate enough to own a fine gauge knitting machine (I do not), this silk will make superb sweaters. Not that a handknitter couldn't accomplish the same thing, its just that it would take a *lot* longer to knit This post relates to the following product: Cobweb and Lace weight silk blends |

Swatch Cotton Dark Fish18. januar 2007 23:39:56 This yarn is fingering weight. I used size 3 US needles. The yarn is nice to knit. It softens slightly with washing, so bloom. The yarn is very strong. The cashmere is a nice addition to the cotton for a soft feel. I plan to use my three cones of yarn to make a sweater to wear with jeans or white capris for the spring/summer/fall season.
