This yarn have been recycled from second-hand cashmere sweaters. Instead of just frogging them, we’ve reclaimed the fibers and respun them back into a heavier weight yarn. We add merino to add support and consistency. There remains, however, a good amount of texture in the finished yarn and it knits up with a solid heft to it.

The yarn is on the most part a tad thinner than DK, but the many slubs throughout the yarn bulk up the WPI to a DK weight.
