Fingering, DK, Chunky, Aran weights from singles
These yarns are mill twisted and steam set for us (to give a balanced yarn), starting from assorted high quality 100% cashmere singles yarns, mostly from Johnstons or other top UK spinners. Many of the singles were meant for weaving so have a higher twist level, and therefore in general even after washing they give a slightly tougher yarn than the very soft and fluffy 2/7NM, but last well in wear (which will give additional softness and bloom) and give crisper stitch definition... there are additional notes on some of the individual items, for example where double twisting gives a softer feel..
The 1/3.5NM yarns have a similar feel, but are single strand yarns spun by top UK mills, with a great crinkly texture. As singles yarns the 1/3.5 yarns do have a bit of residual twist..
The 1/4NM yarns are also singles, but soft-spun, slubby, steam-set ones ... they were originally meant for weaving thick scarves, with a very atractive texture, softer than the other yarns in this section though still not our softest cashmeres.. they are actually called "HandSpun" or HS yarns though they are mill spun then dyed in a "cottage industry" type operation... it should be said that some customers think they give a fascinating rustic fabric but some just think they are difficult to knit with...
this yarn gives great soft slubby texture when knitted, but was originally meant for weaving scarves, some customers love it but some have found some cones a bit of a challenge to knit... it is not a typical soft knitting cashmere..

This yarn is twisted for us from 50s singles of 100% cashmere, woollen spun from shorter spun fibre which makes it a bit less soft, hence we have listed it with the ORDK yarns - lovely color though..

this is pretty soft for one of our made from singles yarn.. but it still isn't very fluffy..

although a singles yarn (we think spun by Hinchliffes) this has no noticeable twist or bias, with a soft slubby texture,... to see a few skeins of this yarn after washing click here... the yardage given below is a minimum, individual cones may be a little finer..
note we have found the odd knot when winding the 1/4s, hence these yarns are a little cheaper

the HS in the yarn title means this yarn was spun to have the same properties as Hand Spun yarn, which means it has twisty bits and thin bits so is not everyone's cup of tea... but it gives a great, soft, rustic fabric..
