Swatch Cotton Dark FishJeudi 18 Janvier 2007 23:39:56 This yarn is fingering weight. I used size 3 US needles. The yarn is nice to knit. It softens slightly with washing, so bloom. The yarn is very strong. The cashmere is a nice addition to the cotton for a soft feel. I plan to use my three cones of yarn to make a sweater to wear with jeans or white capris for the spring/summer/fall season. This post relates to the following product: Cachemire/coton, fils fins à gros (fingering, dk & aran) |

SwatchMercredi 17 Janvier 2007 22:32:38 I just received three cones of Johnston's of Elgin 2/7 NM in a green with flecks of colour in it. It is dk weight. I knit the swatch with size 5 US or 3.75 mm addie turbo circular needles. It is a beautiful yarn to work with, quite soft. After washing and tumbling dry, it becomes deliciously soft. It will make a nice sweater. |

Lace swatch in cashmere 4-ply, 2/16nmMardi 16 Janvier 2007 22:08:11 I love playing with these yarns! Swatch knit with US5, 3.75mm, Inox greys from 1 strand of Kingfisher.

2/16 CapeletMardi 16 Janvier 2007 20:23:00
Capelet knitted with 3 plies of Colourmart's Plum Cashmere 2/16 simply held together, using KnitPick's Options needles size US 8 and twisting the yarn briefly for the YarnOvers. I had a harder time getting a very soft bloom from this cashmere - washing in hot water with dishwashing liquid was not sufficient to remove the oils. Better results were achieved using hot water and hair shampoo, sudsing and soaking, followed by a swish through hair conditioner in water. This used approximately 2 and 1/3 of the 150 gram cones - with no weaving in of ends necessary!
