This Plain Cashmere is a carded yarn and with 16.5 Microns making it is one of the finest cashmere yarns in the hand knitting industry.
Cashmere is one of the softest, finest fibers in the world. The hair of the cashmere goat is 15 – 19 Microns – the lower the Micron count, the finer the single hair and the softer the yarn.
As opposed to combed yarns, carded yarns have more volume and are lighter. This yarn will blossom and bloom when used giving the finished knitting a halo of fuzz. You can hardly beat this yarn with regards to softness.
And this rare beauty needs a little bit of extra attention: Due to the fact that this yarn is spun for industrial knitting, it is received it slightly waxed on cones. It is then wound onto hanks, which are carefully wash and dry. Nevertheless a little bit of grease stays in the yarn.
Cashmere wool tends to grow after washing. Please wash your swatch before measuring.
Kremke Soul Wool is a collection of innovative natural fibre yarns with an increasing focus on vegan and recycled yarns.
“I like to look at my yarn brand as my playground. Whenever I feel there is a demand for a certain yarn composition or when I get inspired by some trends in the fashion or yarn industry, I try to incorporate that in a new yarn“, says Britta Kremke, founder of Kremke Soul Wool.
Britta grew up in her mother’s yarn store, the first “yarn only” shop in Hamburg in the 60s Ever since being a teenager she has been knitting almost every day: But she eventually got tired from too many “Fancy Yarns“ in the market and felt uninspired by the standard ranges of “Merino Super Wash“ and “Super Sock“ yarns most large brands offered. What she imagined were yarns “with a soul“, yarns that were special, yarns that had a story to tell. So almost ten years ago, she started having producers spin distinct fibres into interesting, yet classic yarns at competitive prices for her young brand.
