Country Cashmere




Country Cashmere
Filatura di Crosa
70% Merino Wool, 30% Cashmere
50 g = 46 yds.
My Color: 302229
My Source: Knit Stop, Indianapolis, IN


A nice, cushy yarn, woolen spun, so prone to pilling. Would make a nice warm hat, thick scarf, or heavy coat, though the pilling might be a problem with the coat, where there is more friction.

I am just going to start knitting and I bought the exact same yarn to knit my first sweater with.

The yarn was on sale because the knitting shop was closing so they were short a couple of balls (skeins?).
I am looking for a place to get two more balls of this yarn in the same color.

Where did you buy yours?
Is there a database somewhere where I can do a search for a yarn color and dye lot match?

Thanks
Toddy

Hello, Toddy. Let me know what dyelot you are looking for and I will check to see if that is the same as mine. If so, you will be able to get it at Knit Stop, where mine came from. Otherwise, you might check to see your local yarn shop is a part of the e-mail group for shop owners where they can ask other shop owners if they have a dye lot a customer is looking for. Good luck!
