CASHMERE EXTRA LACE Cashmere Yarn | Lang Yarns

Some knitted pieces stay with us for years, so the yarn deserves just as much thought as the pattern. CASHMERE EXTRA LACE by Lang Yarns is made from 100% cashmere, combining a wonderfully soft touch with exceptional lightness. Hold your swatch against your neck before you begin: it is a simple way to experience how this delicate fibre feels where comfort matters most.

Pure cashmere to carry along or knit alone

CASHMERE EXTRA LACE is designed to work beautifully as a companion yarn. Pair it with another yarn to add the softness of pure cashmere to sweaters, lightweight tops or accessories. Because it contains no added fibres, it also offers a refined alternative to familiar mohair and silk combinations when you want a soft, luxurious effect from cashmere alone.

This fine yarn is equally appealing when knitted by itself. With 320 metres in a 25 gram ball, it is particularly well suited to delicate lace shawls and finely worked accessories. The light yarn leaves plenty of room for the chosen pattern and needle size to shape the character of the fabric. A palette of 45 colours offers options for subtle pairings as well as projects in which CASHMERE EXTRA LACE takes centre stage.

A considered choice for hours of knitting

A project often represents many hours of patient, skilled work. Your time is worth more than the difference between two yarns, which makes the choice of material an important part of planning. CASHMERE EXTRA LACE gives you a clearly stated composition of pure cashmere, a luxurious soft feel and the flexibility to work either alone or alongside another yarn.

The stated tension is 30 stitches and 44 rows over 10 cm using 3 mm needles. Make a generous swatch before casting on, especially when carrying CASHMERE EXTRA LACE with a second yarn. The sample will help you assess the resulting density, drape and overall appearance before committing your time to the full piece. For garments or accessories worn close to the face, you can also place the swatch against your neck to check the feel personally.

Care for your finished cashmere knitting

Only detergent intended for wool wash should be used with CASHMERE EXTRA LACE. This straightforward care instruction matters when your project combines a delicate fibre with many hours of work. Follow the directions for your chosen pattern as well, and treat your swatch in the same way you intend to treat the finished piece.

CASHMERE EXTRA LACE belongs to the Spring/Summer season. Its light character makes it a natural choice for fine shawls, filigree accessories and lightweight knitting. Used as a companion yarn, it can also bring the touch of pure cashmere to a larger project without relying on a classic mohair and silk blend.
