There’s nothing so luscious as cashmere, which means the best place for it is right next to your skin. Herat is a textured snood that makes the most of a single skein of From The Mountain Cashmere Sport for just that purpose. Herat is the main cashmere producing area of Afghanistan, where this yarn is hand spun by local women.

This pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
