Yarn with Cashmere

Q: What is cashmere and where does it come from?

Cashmere is a natural fibre of the highest quality obtained from the finest hair of the cashmere goat, native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is extracted during the animal's natural moulting process, especially from the innermost, softest coat on the neck and belly. Its production is limited, making it an exclusive fibre that is highly prized for its softness, lightness and thermal properties.

Q: What makes cashmere so special?

Cashmere fibre is up to eight times warmer than sheep's wool, but much lighter. It is extremely soft, does not itch and has an elegant drape in knitted garments. It is also hypoallergenic, as it does not contain lanolin, and has a great ability to regulate body temperature, making it perfect for winter and mid-season garments.

Q: Does cashmere wool itch or is it suitable for sensitive skin?

No, cashmere does not itch. It is recognised worldwide as one of the softest and most pleasant fibres to the touch. Its structure is very fine and silky, ideal even for people with sensitive skin or for children's clothing.

Q: What can I knit with yarn that contains cashmere?

You can knit sweaters, cardigans, jackets, scarves, neck warmers, hats, gloves, stoles, shawls and children's garments. Thanks to its thermal capacity, it is perfect for autumn and winter garments that seek to combine elegance, warmth and lightness. It is also ideal for projects where softness is a must.

Q: How should cashmere yarn be washed and cared for?

Yarn with cashmere, especially when blended with other fibres such as wool or acrylic, as in ETROFIL – Angora Lux, is easier to care for than pure cashmere. However, we recommend:▷ Hand wash with cold water and special wool soap.▷ Do not wring or rub.▷ Dry flat, away from direct light and heat sources.▷ Store folded, never hung, to maintain its shape.

Q: What are the advantages of buying yarns with cashmere blends over pure cashmere?

Blends with cashmere, such as ETROFIL – Angora Lux, offer several advantages:▷ They retain much of the softness and lightness of cashmere.▷ They are more resistant to wear and pilling.▷ They offer greater durability and ease of care.▷ They are much more affordable than pure cashmere, while maintaining a high level of quality and comfort.
