Cardiff Cashmere Classic

Classic is a 100% cashmere yarn suited to projects where softness and stitch definition matter. Consider it for knitted scarves, jumpers, cardigans and crochet accessories, choosing a pattern that matches your tension.

Cardiff Cashmere Brushlight 4 Ply

Brushlight combines 82% cashmere with 18% mulberry silk in a fine, brushed yarn. Its soft halo creates an airy finish for lightweight garments and accessories. Use it alone or held with another yarn, according to your pattern and desired fabric.

Cardiff Cashmere Brushmere 10 Ply

Brushmere offers a brushed finish in a heavier yarn weight than Brushlight. Explore it for projects where you want a fuller, softly textured fabric, checking the product specifications against your pattern before choosing.

Cardiff Cashmere Prime 2 Ply

Prime is the lace-weight option in this collection. Consider it for fine-gauge projects and delicate fabrics, using your pattern’s recommended tension and yarn requirements to guide your selection.

Choosing cashmere yarn for your project

Start with your pattern’s yarn weight, required metreage and tension. Then consider the finish you want: Classic for more defined stitches, a brushed yarn for a soft halo, or Prime for a fine, lightweight fabric.

For garments, make and wash a tension swatch before starting. This helps you assess the fabric’s feel, drape and finished dimensions, particularly when substituting yarn or holding strands together.
