Heavy Lace Weight Recycled Cashmere Yarn in Almost Black

100% cashmere yarn in a deep, dark gray, almost black, carefully reclaimed from a discarded men’s turtleneck.  This yarn is made up of two fine 2-ply strands held together, and is a heavy lace or light fingering weight at about 16 wraps per inch. Soft and luxurious.

This sweater yielded four skeins:

• 510 yards / 466 meters, 2.7 ounces / 76 grams, 2 knots
  
• 360 yards / 329 meters, 1.9 ounces / 53 grams, 2 knots (Quantity: 3)

Please review all photos carefully before purchasing, and contact us if you have any questions.

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.
