Athena
![Alexandra the Art of Yarn](https://assets3-d.ravelrycache.com/assets/53341923/AlexandrasCrafts_banner.png)
Replaced by a blend with 70% merino, 20% nylon & 10% cashmere.
Main 100 gram skein is MCN fingering. Companion mini skeins may be the same base yarn or another. Please adjust yarn name, yardage and skein weight on individual stash entries. This may not be the same base yarn.
How much will 10% cashmere affect a 3 oz skein of sock yarn? Grab a skein of Athena and you will be amazed. It is so soft and fun to knit. Our 400 yard skeins will yeild you a pair of socks or your favorite scarf. Dress up your favorite outfit with a splash of cashmere with one of many two skein shawls, or matching fingerless gloves to go with your scarf. This yarn is pure luxury against your skin! The superwash gives it washability and the nylon gives it wearability [machine wash gentle cycle or hand wash to avoid the little shrinkage you’ll experince with machine washing (ex if knitting socks- knit one size larger than normal)].
Hand Dyed, Merino Superwash 80%, Cashmere 10%, Nylon 10%
