Aran Weight Recycled Cashmere Yarn in Bubblegum Pink

100% cashmere yarn in a bright, happy bubblegum pink, carefully reclaimed from a discarded women’s sweater.  This yarn is a plump aran weight at just under 8 wraps per inch. It’s deliciously soft and pettable. Treat yourself!

This sweater yielded five skeins:

• 180 yards / 165 meters, 2.9 ounces / 83 grams, no knots
• 150 yards / 137 meters, 2.5 ounces / 70 grams, no knots (Quantity: 2)
• 140 yards / 128 meters, 2.4 ounces / 68 grams, 1 knot
• 130 yards / 119 meters, 2.2 ounces / 61 grams, no knots

Would you like your skein wound into a center-pull ball?  We would be happy to wind your yarn for you free of charge.  Just leave us a note when you place your order.

Cashmere is light, warm, soft, and surprisingly durable. Handwash in lukewarm water with a wool-safe detergent (or a squirt of shampoo and a dab of conditioner), and dry flat.

Did you know–soaring US demand for cashmere has devastated parts of China’s landscape? Overgrazing by cashmere-producing goats has led to the “desertification” of formerly rich grasslands. If you want to help reduce demand, enjoy the luxury of cashmere in a more thoughtful way, by buying recycled yarn instead of new.
