This yarn can vary in that it is multi-stranded with fine strands of 85/15 cashmere/silk blends and 70/30 silk/cashmere blends, and then finally wrapped with a fine silk. The company custom-strands and then custom-wraps their yarns; depending on how many strands of each combination were used you may have anywhere from 40 to 65 grams but always 200 yards.
The yarn label will state how many strands of each blend were used, and the skeins are priced accordingly.

When the yarn was sold at Stitches East in 2014, it was priced at $8/skein for the first combination listed above, and $10/skein for the second combination listed.
