60% Cashmere 40% cotton cobweb weight

These yarns are spun by Filati Biagioli of Italy (the 3/80NM by Loro Piana). Made from the best cashmere and long staple cotton fibres they are still soft but give better stitch definition and feel crisper than the pure cashmere - ideal for lighter weight garments or baby items...

As 2/48NM yarns these give 4,000 yards per cone, 12,000 yards per lb, and should give around 50-60 stitches on a 4 inch swatch. 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 that although these are balanced yarns because these are so fine we will happily wind multiple plies together on cone, for free (even say 1 cone of 6 plies), just tell us how many when you pay.
