Vegan Cashmere
A word from the designer:
It was like blind tasting: I had no idea of which material the yarn was that I was given for testing. It had a cashmere-like gentle fuzz, the volume was just perfect and it was so easy to knit with. The stitch definition was perfect even though normally my knitting is not very even.
I even washed the swatch in the machine and: It came out of the laundry even nicer. And then I was told what the actual material is: this is not cashmere, it is pure cotton. An elaborated spinning technique makes it possible to combine the best of two worlds: the softness of cashmere and the easy care of cotton.
The yarn is dyed and produced in Italy.

Our Opinion
This yarn is dreamy soft, like real cashmere. It has a luxurious feel and look to it, making it suitable for chique garments as well as your favourite sweater.
It resembles a flat ribbon yarn, meaning it doesn’t split and lies flat on the needle. This means you get stunning stitch definition both in lace work as well as in cables.
It washes well and is easy in maintenance.
