Wow, I couldn’t believe that a luxury yarn like this cashmere and silk blend could be any softer than when knit in stockinette stitch but I was wrong. The brioche stitch adds a layer of squishy softness that makes this truly luxurious. Adding 3 colors in a fade pattern makes it beautiful. It is a fingering weight cowl that is long enough to casually drape over your shoulders but soft enough that you want it tucked up against the back of your neck for snuggliness and warmth. The pattern uses most of the first two colors (white and light pink, in the picture) and about 60 % of the dark pink. It measures about 35” in circumference and 9.5” in height. Each skein is 200 yards.
