Cashmere Blend Yarns in stock

In-stock Cashmere Blend Yarns

The cashmere blend yarns we offer on our website are mostly Merino wool and cashmere blend yarns in various thicknesses.
Sometimes we may have cashmere and silk blend yarns, but these are rarely carded yarns; most are worsted yarns.

We have cashmere blend yarns for machine knitting and cashmere blend yarns for hand knitting and crocheting. You can find them in their respective subcategories.
Machine yarns are mostly for 12-gauge machines, such as 2/28 and 2/30, and for 7-8 gauge machines, such as 2/15, 2/14, 2/17, etc.

Yarns for hand knitting and crocheting come in various thicknesses, to be worked with needles from size 2 up to around 6-8. However, you can also hand knit machine yarns by working them with two or more strands; some of our customers even work these yarns with up to 8 strands, but of course, this requires some knitting experience.

We offer a small service to make it easier to work fine yarns with multiple strands: we can divide each cone you purchase into a maximum of 4 mini-cones so you can work the yarn with up to 4 strands. However, we cannot combine the strands because we do not have the appropriate machine; this would require plying, but it cannot be done for such small quantities.

The main differences between a carded yarn and a worsted yarn consist of the type of fiber, with a longer fiber being used for worsted yarns, and the spinning process, carded and worsted, where in worsted spinning the fiber is passed under a comb that removes the shorter fibers. And the outcome is completely different.

While carded yarn has a visible nap on the surface, worsted spinning does not, and the garment appears more woven compared to a carded garment.

Remember that the yarns you find on our website need to be treated/washed before or after working them. On our website and blog, you can find all the information and tips for treatment.

And, please, always make a small swatch first and wash it. If you treat the yarn, before treating all of it, make a small swatch, a small skein of 30-50 gr, and wash it, because if you wash it incorrectly, we cannot take the yarn back. Please note!!!
