Light Worsted Weight Recycled Yarn in Light Gray

100% cashmere yarn in light grey, carefully reclaimed from a discarded women’s sweater.  This yarn is light worsted weight at 10 wraps per inch; it’s strong, but deliciously soft and pettable.

This sweater yielded four skeins:

• 430 yards / 393 meters, 4.7 ounces / 132 grams, 1 knot (Quantity: 2)
• 260 yards / 238 meters, 2.8 ounces / 78 grams, 1 knot
• 200 yards / 183 meters, 2.2 ounces / 61 grams, 2 knots

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.
