Cashmere Charis: The Magic of Luxury Fibers Brought to Life Cashmere Charis takes its name from one of the Graces in Greek mythology, that symbolizes charm, beauty, nature, and human creativity. Cashmere Charis is available in 50-gram balls. The yarn is a 6-ply, with a unique twist: first two sets of three threads each are twisted together and then these two sets are twisted together. This process gives the yarn a very smooth and compact appearance, and we know that the more thorough the twisting, the less likely a yarn is to pill later on. The yarn has a length of 122 yds (112 meters) per 50 grams. With the recommended needle size of 8 US (5 mm), you can achieve a gauge of 17 stitches and 24 rows per 10 x 10 cm square, as per the label. So why not get started on a little "Yarn Tasting"! It’s no surprise that Cashmere Charis glides seamlessly over your needles and fingers from the very first cast-on. With size 8 US (5 mm) needles, you’ll find yourself knitting up a delightful piece in no time. The stitches create a beautifully consistent pattern, and the knitted fabric feels incredibly soft—almost like a cloud—while boasting a subtle sheen. You'll quickly find yourself inspired with ideas for this cuddly-soft yarn… perhaps a pullover? Or maybe something more rustic with cable patterns? Its lightweight nature makes it perfect for creating rich, textured designs!
