Cashmere/wool dk and heavy dk weight

The 6/20s yarns (3plies of 2 plies of 1/20M yarn) are 50/50 cash/wool with some of the cashmere softness but still the better stitch definition. Some of the input yarns were for weaving, so are a bit tighter spun. The 6/14s and 5/14s cash/wools are from Todd & Duncan of Scotland (the 5/14s are mill twisted for us from Tand D singles) and with 30% cashmere in the mix and Geelong wool they do feel coarser than the higher proportion cashmere yarns but are still great yarns, especially for heavier working garments..
