Dolce Cashmere is an amazingly soft and fabulous wool blend mixed with pretty, lightweight cashmere. The yarn is specially produced for Hobbii at a small, family-run spinner in Italy. Here they have innovatively and carefully spun good and beautiful yarns throughout generations.

The color play in Dolce Cashmere is something unique since the colors slowly transition throughout the 842 yards (770 m) of yarn per skein. The large, incredible skein of 7 oz (200 g) is specially meant for soft scarves and shawls in which cases the color transitions really appear. Here we recommend knitting with needle size 2.5-4 (EU: 3.5-4mm) for a soft and even bulkier result.

Cashmere can be worn directly on the skin and warms nicely since the cashmere fibers are good at isolating and containing warmth even better than wool. Of course, you can also use Dolce Cashmere e.g. hats, gloves, or other kinds of clothing. When doing so, you can easily downsize your knitting by knitting a bit denser by using needle sizes 2.5-4 (3-3.5 mm). However, please remember always to knit a gauge swatch before starting your project. It’s usually time well spent.

NOTE: Please note that a printing error has occurred on the label: The yarn must be washed by hand and must NOT be machine-washed. We apologize for the inconvenience!
