cashmere fine dk wt slub 2/7.5NM undyed white / black

slubby.. soft... this Todd and Duncan yarn is exactly the same construction as the 2/7.5NM undyed white and black (basically this yarn has one strand of the two stranded black yarn plus one strand of the undyed white) and was intended to be knitted with the other two, to make some striking garment combinations, though of course it will work fine on its own..

cashmere heavy dk wt 12/28NM loose twist pirate (box 225)

click here for huge picture!
we got this yarn direct from Todd and Duncan, who have put together 6 strands (2 x 3) of their normal pirate (dark navy blue) 2/28NM lace weight yarn. The loose twist used means that the yarn has some residual twist, which might cause some knitting challenges, you can see suggestions for working with this here: http://ravel.me/Dianepurls/12chdp

soft dk and heavy dk and aran pure cashmeres

The 4/14NM yarns and 8/28NMs, give 570 yards per cone (1,750 yards per lb). You should get about 20-24 stitches on a 4 inch swatch from this yarn, using US 5-6 or 3.75-4 mm needles. Details of washing and knitting should be found in our knowledge base section, and if you have any examples of items you have already knitted with it we would be very grateful if you would post details (and photos if possible) below.

The 18/46s are considerably thicker, giving about 420 yards per cone (1,250 yards per lb). They are twisted up for us from Carriagi spun cobweb weights, first into 3 strands and then three strands of the result twisted the opposite way, giving a great structure and softness after washing.

The 4/7s are covered on their listings..
