Common questions

What sizes do the yarn balls come in?
Yarn is listed in 50 gram, 70 gram, 300 gram and 500 gram sizes, and one cashmere yarn comes as a 50 plus 20 gram pair. Cashmere Yarn Set of 6 is sold as a set, and 5pcs Wool Mohair Coloured Yarn is sold in five pieces of 200 metres each.
Do you sell knitting needles and crochet hooks as well as yarn?
Yes. The range includes a Wooden Knitting Needle Set, individual bamboo needles, Bamboo Wooden Handle Knitting Needles and a crochet hook with a handle. Those sit alongside the yarns rather than on a separate page.
How should a finished cashmere hand knit be washed?
The care instructions supplied with the yarn should be followed. Gentle washing, without harsh detergents or high heat, is what we advise. Find the full wash guide in How to wash cashmere without ruining it.
