Lang's Cashmere Light is unbelievably soft and light as a feather! Think fluffy cloud, baby kitten, cotton candy soft. The boucle ply of this yarn gives its already soft cashmere fiber content a bouncy, airy texture. You can knit Cashmere Light with smaller needles to get a warmer, more dense fabric for garments meant to be extra snuggly. When knitted with larger needles this yarn can feel more lightweight and squishy. The nylon fiber content means this yarn will always be stretchy and flexible. We think this yarn is great for garments held close to the skin like hats, gloves, and scarves!
