Cashmere Lace by Gepard | 100% luxurious cashmere

Cashmere Lace from Gepard Garn is 100% cashmere of the finest quality, a 2-ply lace weight yarn. The more you wash it, the softer and more voluminous your knitting becomes. Gepard's Cashmere Lace is incredibly soft and a joy to knit with single, double or held along with another fibre. It's a truly unique, luxurious yarn, and we think it's the best lace-weight cashmere on the market. Try using Cashmere Lace as an alternative to silk mohair in your knitting.

Yardage: 25 g = approx. 330 m (360 yds)
Needle sizes: 3 – 4 mm / UK 11–8 / US 2.5–6

Many designers, such as My Favourite Things Knitwear and Other Loops, love pairing Cashmere Lace with Pura Lana or HørSilke to create an incredibly soft, luxurious fabric. Give it a try and see how you can replace a silk mohair with Cashmere Lace, as it provides a similar fullness without being a kidsilk yarn.
