Using the softest, most special cashmere available, Cashmere Merino Bloom is a classic knitting yarn with a very special touch!

• 25% cashmere and 75% extra fine merino wool, this yarn benefits from both fibers, with enough cashmere for over-the-top softness and beautiful bloom.
• Our cashmere's short staple fiber comes from the downy undercoat of goats, which is carefully separated from the animal's longer guard hairs. It is then intimately blended with the softest quality extra fine merino there is, which, since it's wool, also adds resilience and durability.
• Two plies spun into a light worsted/DK-weight yarn, Cashmere Merino Bloom has an incredible hand feel with a gentle halo that seems to float above the surface of your knit fabric.
• A wonderful yarn for just about everything and everyone, it is gentle for babies and sensitive skin and toasty warm for winter weather. We have tons of wonderful ideas... Be sure to explore our collection of (mostly free) knitting patterns for Cashmere Merino Bloom!
