Cashmere Camel Hair Yarn, PROFILIO CASHAIR, Luxury Italian Lace Weight Yarn, Balls or Cones, 550m/100g

CASHAIR is the kind of yarn that makes you want to cast on a sweater immediately. The Grey Melange color is classic, unisex, and effortlessly elegant, while the luxurious blend of 95% Cashmere and 5% Camel Hair creates fabric that feels soft, warm, and incredibly comfortable against the skin. This is not a delicate "special occasion" yarn that sits in the closet. It is the kind of luxury yarn that turns into garments you reach for again and again. What impressed me most was how easy it was to knit. My sample was worked in a single strand on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles and produced an even, refined fabric with excellent stitch definition. After washing, the swatch opened beautifully, became noticeably softer and loftier, and developed a lovely halo while maintaining a clean, polished appearance. One strand is enough for lightweight luxury knitwear, while two strands create a more classic cashmere fabric with additional warmth and structure. ▣ Product Specifications • Manufacturer: PROFILIO s.n.c., Italy • Article: CASHAIR • Fiber Content: 95% Cashmere, 5% Camel Hair • Yarn Category: Lace Weight • Yarn Structure: Carded • Yarn Count: Tit. 2/11000 • Yardage: approximately 550m / 601yd per 100g (3.52oz) • Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE) • Origin: Made in Italy • Availability: LIMITED QUANTITY ⋔ Swatch Notes • Sample knitted in one strand • US 4 (3.5 mm) needles • Very easy and enjoyable to knit • Excellent stitch definition • Forgiving and even fabric • Softened significantly after washing • Developed a beautiful halo • Became loftier and more luxurious • Improved drape after washing ⌁ Texture & Feel • Exceptionally soft • Lightweight warmth • Soft halo after washing • Comfortable next to skin • Elegant drape • Airy without feeling fragile • Refined luxury feel • Timeless appearance ⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special Most cashmere yarns sell because of the fiber content. CASHAIR stands out because of the finished fabric. The small amount of camel hair adds depth, warmth, and character without taking away from the softness of the cashmere. The Grey Melange color creates natural visual interest, allowing even simple stockinette to look sophisticated and expensive. The carded construction gives the yarn a softer and more relaxed personality than tightly combed yarns, creating fabric that feels luxurious but never overly formal. ✦ Fiber Preparation • Carded construction • Creates a softer, loftier fabric • Develops a beautiful halo after washing • Produces a more relaxed luxury appearance ➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage One Strand: • Lightweight sweaters • Fine cardigans • Tops • Shawls and wraps • Scarves • Luxury accessories Two Strands: • Sweaters • Cardigans • Pullovers • Winter accessories • Traditional luxury knitwear Companion Yarn: CASHAIR is also an excellent luxury base yarn for custom blends. ➤ Approximate Yarn Requirements One Strand: • Shawl: approximately 150–220g • Scarf: approximately 120–180g • Lightweight Top: approximately 220–300g • Sweater (S–M): approximately 300–380g • Sweater (L–XL): approximately 400–500g • Cardigan: approximately 350–500g Two Strands: • Sweater (S–M): approximately 450–550g • Sweater (L–XL): approximately 550–700g • Cardigan: approximately 500–700g ➤ What This Yarn Does In Your Project • Creates soft, luxurious fabric • Adds lightweight warmth • Produces a beautiful halo • Improves drape after washing • Makes simple stitches look refined • Creates timeless, expensive-looking knitwear • Works beautifully alone or in blends ➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT Silk Mohair Adds an airy halo and extra softness.
