The 4/46NM yarns are Italian spun, created from two strands of soft vivid cobweb cashmere...

This is a Todd and Duncan soft spun yarn, branded Eminence, soft and vivid. 2/36NM means it is almost a cobweb, doubled it will make our heavy lace weight thickness. This yarn came straight from TD, still in mill wrappers, and the price is higher than earlier listings because we had to pay more for it, sorry..

As 2/28NM yarns these give 2,300 yards per cone, 7,000 yards per lb, and should give around 32-36 stitches on a 4 inch swatch, using US 2-5, 2.5-3.75 mm needles. Please add your experiences with these yarns (especially with pictures!) below. You can find articles about knitting and washing these yarns in our Knowledge Base section..

Note:

- we will wind multiple plies of these yarns onto cone for no extra charge, just let us know how many plies when you pay...

- some of these yarns came in on smaller cones, so by the time we get to the last few 150g cones for sale, we might actually send 2 or even 3 (never more) smaller cones instead of one 150g one. You usually get more yarn that way, but if that would be a problem for you please let us know...

- the size of the cones in the pictures may vary, the amount for sale is always 150g...
