100% Cashmere Yarn, 100g Mongolian Luxuriously Soft Pure Cashmere Hand Knitting Cone Yarn for Knitting Crocheting (Deap Wine)

Bought this after reading the reviews and knowing well that it is very thin - single ply. If you are knitting and are used to yarn weights described in words, this is lace-weight. I bought enough spools to combine the threads into a thicker yarn. Got it on time. The spools are not large, but reasonable in size for the price. However, to the touch, the yarn does not feel like cashmere. It's not particularly soft. Not coarse either, but feels just like regular wool that comes from sheep. I have not started the project yet. May update as I work on it and see how the fabric evolves. UPDATE: This is wonderful yarn, so I am changing the rating from 3 starts to 5. I bought dark blue and had to combine the thread from three spools into one ball. The ball turned out to be HUGE. I used half of it to make the vest shown in the picture here. The yarn is remarkably soft and silky. Will be buying more. Well worth it for the price.

Like most, I got this yarn to darn a hole in a cashmere item. The item I got is EXACTLY what is shown, and exactly what I needed for darning, so I’m happy! The seller included a handwritten thank you note addressed to me by name, which I found extremely thoughtful and cute, hence why I’m reviewing this store and not others, as most come with a form letter thanking you and asking for a review. The fact they sat down and did this little note by hand, and included my name (Thus treating me like a human and not a mindless consumer), says a lot! Also, some have complained this is thread; The seller states that this is skinny yarn and suggests you double or triple up on the yarn you’re using if you need thicker. I’ve found thick cashmere yarn, but the price for a ball—not enough to make anything—is 3 figures. Per ball. Cashmere clothes are expensive, so it follows that the yarn would be, too (Otherwise why would anyone wear anything else?!) I’m very happy with my purchase!

I am a professional knitter, and I tried to knit this on both a 7gg domestic brother knitting machine and a 12 gg industrial machine- I even tried plying up x3 on the 7gg. The feel and weight is beautiful- if you can get it to knit. It is so weak it doesn’t even snap like most yarn- it softly dissolves. This happens every 100 rows or so, and makes the yarn completely unviable for knitting a garment.

As I enjoy knitting 100% cashmere blankets and coverlets using No. 0 knitting needles (I use Takumi Bamboo Circular Needles), I am extremely pleased with this yarn. It is very fine, two ply, delicate, yet strong. Each Cone has been absolutely knot free!

I bought this yarn to repair holes in my sweaters. It is a nice light weight which is perfect for the fine knit sweater. I honestly can't tell you if it is cashmere or not. It doesn't fray and serves the purpose so I am happy. I would buy again in different colors.

This is beautiful! Super thin. It would take ages to crochet a scarf, let alone a blanket.

Much of the lace weight yarn sold in the US is actually two loose strands pre-washed so you can feel how soft it is in the skein. This is not pre-washed. It’s well spun yarn, generous yardage, and it’s tightly wound on a cone, which makes it easy to knit with two strands together. I’ve had wonderful luck with it, and when it’s washed it blooms as you would expect cashmere to do. For the price, it’s a super deal if you know what to expect and how to treat it once it’s knit up.

I was disappointed by the quality of the thread. I bought it to make repairs in a cashmere sweater that the moths lunched on. The thread kept breaking as I unwound it from the cone/spool. I had to do the mending very gently and I hope that the thread will hold when the sweater is washed. I was so looking forward to getting more colors but I will have to look elsewhere. The package came with a nice hand written thank you note and a pair of brown and black bamboo socks and 2 spools of black elastic thread.

Das Garn ist hervorragend.Der gleichmässige Faden strickt sich gut.Die Farbe ist wie beschrieben schön.Mit dem Beilauffaden bin ich nicht zurechtgekommen.Er hat sich immer verdreht.Mit doppelten Faden und Nadelstärke 3mm habe ich wunderschöne Tücher gestrickt.Nach dem waschen war der Kaschmireffekt perfekt.Vielen Dank!

The product should not be called yarn it should be thread. It is not soft not what I expected really thin not soft feels like seeing thread knots and break really easy. Cannot knot with or really dissatisfied
