I would never have believed this yarn was pure cashmere if you’d shown me the cone, smooth and lustrous, cool feeling like cotton. I washed a dried a length and was a little more convinced. Then I knit and washed a swatch, I rough finished the watch in the washing and sure enough it developed the soft fuzz of cashmere. Lovely!
