Cygnet

A unique and wonderful blend of 70% undyed white cashmere and 30% natural-color baby alpaca, Cygnet’s five straight-from-nature shades span a range of soft gray-browns, like a bevy of baby swans! From the downy winter undercoat of goats, cashmere is designed by nature to be lightweight, warm, and ridiculously soft. The cashmere in Cygnet is some of the finest in the world, with an over-the-top softness you will feel in every stitch! The baby alpaca is nearly as soft, and we use a range of naturally occurring shades to give Cygnet its delicate palette of warm and earthy neutrals. This fingering-weight yarn has six tidy plies, giving it strength and a very smooth, even stitch definition. Although we no longer sell Cygnet, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock. Check out our yarns with similar gauge and fiber!
