Our Nigh DK yarn is a 100% cashmere yarn that comes from the most exquisite, amazingly soft fiber you can imagine!
- From Mongolia, the source of much of the world’s finest cashmere, this yarn comes from the downy winter undercoat of the goats who live in the extreme temperatures of this region... Designed by nature to be lightweight and super toasty!
- Once our cashmere has been gathered, spun, and dyed, we take the extra step of washing the finished yarn several times. This means Nigh DK is unbelievably soft as you’re knitting, not just after you block it, so the knitting feels as good as the wearing!
- A DK (or light worsted) weight yarn, Nigh DK has four even plies and knits into a beautiful, even fabric with a soft halo that floats above the fabric’s surface, a distinctive characteristic of fine cashmere yarns. It is thin enough to feel streamlined and elegant and thick enough to feel substantial.
- Nigh DK is available in a palette of two dozen colors, some solid, some gently heathered, all gorgeous.
- Explore our collection of knitting patterns in Nigh DK and experience the joy of knitting this truly extraordinary yarn!
