100% finest long-fibre cashmere – soft, lightweight, and non-itchy. Developed and refined over 20 years, Cashmere Klassik offers exceptional softness with a sophisticated look in on-trend colours. A joy to knit with: stitches glide effortlessly and the work feels pleasantly light. Ideal for sensitive skin and anyone who values comfort. The yarn develops a subtle halo over time without pilling or shedding. Combines beautifully with other yarns in stripes or colourwork. Use as a contrast with Pura Lana to add elegance and luxury – even small leftovers are useful. Cashmere behaves like silk with beautiful drape but limited elasticity. We recommend allowing extra ease in width so the fabric expresses its elegance when worn and maintains comfortable temperature regulation. The spinning method used for Cashmere Klassik differs slightly from most standard yarns. It is cable-spun, a construction that adds elasticity to the yarn. As a result, the stated yardage may vary slightly depending on how the length of 25 g is measured.Gepard measures the yarn in its relaxed state, but Cashmere Klassik has the same yardage as other comparable 100% cashmere yarns spun in the same way. some pattern inspiration using Gepard Cashmere Klassik Breton Tee - Hannah Rimmen Scarf no 5 - My favourite things Hyo Bandana - Aegyo Knit Cloudy Busan Tee - Aegyo Knit Fibre Content: 100% finest, untreated cashmere Weight:Fingering/ 4ply - DK Meterage/Yardage 115 yards (105 meters) Unit Weight25 g Gauge: Varies depending on needle size Needles 3.5–4 mm for sweatersNeedles 4.5–5 mm for shawls Needle Size3mm- 4.5mm Hand wash at 20–25°C in a laundry bag
