100% Cashmere Yarn, Mongolian Pure Cashmere Hand Knitting Cone Yarn - Luxuriously Soft for Knitting & Crocheting (Blue, 100g)

I love this yarn. It definitely needs to be combined with multiple strands I use anywhere from 3-5 and love combining the different “threads” to make my own colors.

I purchased the violet color. It's soft and vibrant. I wish there was a thicker version I could purchase for weaving, but I don't think that's an option. Definitely very fine, thread not yarn. I used it to patch a hole in my couch and am happy with the strength and color of the thread.

I am a professional knitter, and I tried to knit this on both a 7gg domestic brother knitting machine and a 12 gg industrial machine- I even tried plying up x3 on the 7gg. The feel and weight is beautiful- if you can get it to knit. It is so weak it doesn’t even snap like most yarn- it softly dissolves. This happens every 100 rows or so, and makes the yarn completely unviable for knitting a garment.

I ordered this yarn/ thread to darn holes in cashier and wool sweaters. It looks great and appears to be the right thickness. The seller also sent two gifts. Cute slippers and two spools of elastic silk thread. Super nice of them.

This yarn is about the same size as 2 strands of embroidery floss (for those who don't know floss is 6 strands twisted loosely together that get pulled apart for use). That said this yarn is quite small. It is a lace weight. If you knit tightly you might want a synthetic yarn as this will break if you are having to force your stitches. I am very happy with this other than a couple of places where the yarn was broken. It is soft as expected and the yardage makes it a good value.

This is a Cashmere thread. I would not use this thread by itself for a pattern.However, don’t be fooled by how thin it is. I use it all the time either doubled or with another yarn. I’ve included some images. One is a swatch of two strands held together on a US 5 needle, blocked, which could be used for a fingering weight pattern. It’s incredibly soft. It comes in 1200 yards for $19. 1200 yards is enough to make a sweater for myself, so if I’d double it I can knit Myself a beautiful soft cashmere sweater for $40. I added another picture of a sweater that I am finishing in gray. I’m using a fingering weight Cashmere held together with this product, the thread cashmere yarn. I used a US 5 needle for a very dense fabric, but could easily work with a US 7. I’m still working on my last sleeve so the sweater is not yet blocked. I’ve purchased this in a multitude of colors and will continue to buy more.

Like most, I got this yarn to darn a hole in a cashmere item. The item I got is EXACTLY what is shown, and exactly what I needed for darning, so I’m happy!The seller included a handwritten thank you note addressed to me by name, which I found extremely thoughtful and cute, hence why I’m reviewing this store and not others, as most come with a form letter thanking you and asking for a review. The fact they sat down and did this little note by hand, and included my name (Thus treating me like a human and not a mindless consumer), says a lot!Also, some have complained this is thread; The seller states that this is skinny yarn and suggests you double or triple up on the yarn you’re using if you need thicker. I’ve found thick cashmere yarn, but the price for a ball—not enough to make anything—is 3 figures. Per ball. Cashmere clothes are expensive, so it follows that the yarn would be, too (Otherwise why would anyone wear anything else?!)I’m very happy with my purchase!

I ordered this in mid October and didn't receive it till December. The spool is way too small. A fact that is hard to tell from the product pictures. They included 2 small spools of thread in the same color and some cheap slippers!? One of the few items I bought on Amazon and was completely disappointed with.
