Our 100% cashmere Nigh DK is the most special and deeply satifying yarn we can imagine! Its exquisite fiber comes from Mongolia, the source of much of the world’s finest cashmere. From the downy winter undercoat of the goats who live in the extreme temperatures of this region, cashmere is designed by nature to be lightweight and super toasty. Once our cashmere has been gathered, spun, and dyed, we take the extra step of washing the finished yarn several times. This means Nigh DK is unbelievably soft as you’re knitting, not just after you block it, so the making feels as good as the wearing! A light worsted weight, Nigh DK has four even plies and knits into a beautiful, even fabric with a soft halo that floats above the fabric’s surface, a distinctive characteristic of fine cashmere. It is thin enough to feel streamlined and elegant and thick enough to feel substantial. Nigh DK is available in a palette of 21 colors, some solid, some gently heathered, all gorgeous! Experience the joy of this truly extraordinary yarn!
