Cashpaca Silk. I can’t think of any other way to describe it other than having mitts made out of bunnies. (In a non-creepy, non-bunnymurder way.) It is so soft.

This non-wool blend takes dye in a less aggressive manner, so it’s got a soothing, heathered vibe to it. Cashpaca has a really nice halo and a slightly calmer twist to it that makes it a wonderful lace yarn. It would do really well in any simple stitch pattern. It is pure luxury.

Gemini is packaged as two identical gradient skeins, each 20g/88y/80m. They look like delicious little mini-muffins and arrive in giftworthy packaging. Perfect for a luxurious set of fingerless mitts or wristwarmers.

The Gemini Series includes:

Gemini Mitt Kit: regular length skeins in MCN, Silky Merino and Cashpaca Silk.

Gemini Mitt Kit XL- Perfect for crochet patterns that need extra yardage or longer knitted designs. Also available in MCN, Silky Merino and Cashpaca Silk.
