💡 The beauty of this particular article is that you can knit it starting with a single strand. The initial fabric may feel slightly rough, but after washing—or even better, after several washes—the cashmere begins to bloom, creating a beautiful halo effect. This natural transformation also helps to gently soften and hide any small imperfections in your knitting.

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash or machine wash gently in cold water with a mild wool or cashmere detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
Please keep in mind that cone yarns—especially cashmere—often contain a noticeable amount of wax, which is added during production to protect the fibers and ensure smooth performance on industrial knitting machines. A few washes may be required to fully remove the wax and allow the cashmere to fully bloom into its softest, most luxurious state. Each wash enhances the natural halo and softens the final fabric beautifully.

📸 Please Note:
The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
