Cardiff Cashmere Classic is the pure cashmere yarn for knitting par excellence. It can be used for a wide selection of projects ranging from simple accessories to more complicated sweaters and cardigans. It works well with all knitting stitches and in particular with well-defined ones.

Cashmere is not only super soft, it's also featherlight! The cashmere fibre comes from cashmere goats' fine undercoats, providing warmth and insulation from the biting winter winds. So even though Cardiff Cashmere Classic comes in 25g balls, they actually have similar yardage to other 50g ball wool yarns.

This yarn is beyond soft, and here's why. The width of a fibre is measured in microns. Essentially, the smaller the micron, the finer the fibre, and the softer it is. The human hair is around 50 microns. A high-quality merino garment that's meant to be worn next to the skin (like an Icebreaker top) is between 17-19 microns. Cardiff cashmere fibre is never more than 15.5 microns! This is why it's ideal for knitting bras, wrap tops, scarves and singlets, as cashmere is non-scratchy against the skin.
