Soft and vivid, this yarn has been twisted by Todd and Duncan, the original mill, from 6 strands of 2/28NM lace weight. As of 2020, the website states that “These are mill twisted for us from 4 strands of our very popular 3/28 cashmere, giving a very soft and solid thicker yarn”.

We got this yarn direct from Todd and Duncan, who have put together 6 strands (2 x 3) of their normal 2/28NM lace weight yarn. The loose twist used means that the yarn has some residual twist, which might cause some knitting challenges, you can see suggestions for working with this here: Dianepurl’s swatches and notes.
