What a fantastic new range! This cashmere is pure Italian spun. 50% of the cashmere in this yarn is new quality, the other half is described by the mill as recycled pre-consumer and post-consumer cashmere waste. The waste is colour sorted, non-cashmere bits are removed, and then it is pulled into fibres and re-spun with the new fibre before dyeing. If you think that’s great, the cashmere is even more so. It is lovely and soft. Note the 3% merino to strengthen it all :-)

NOTE. Colourmart yarn weight definitions are finer than most. When comparing with other yarns please work with the yardage and cone weight numbers above.
