Kremke Eco Cashmere - 25g

THIS YARN IS DISCONTINUED AND REDUCED TO CLEAR

So, you’ve found your IDEAL cardigan pattern, and you want to make sure it’s a “forever cardigan”. You want it soft, soft enough you don’t need a mohair to be held with it. You maybe want to make a cardigan for best, you know, to wear to your friend Emma’s wedding with that nice jumpsuit in the back of your wardrobe.

This yarn is 100% cashmere and gets even softer with washing and blocking. Spun in Italy, using 50% premium cashmere and 50% recycled cashmere recovered from spinning and weaving mills. Kremke says:

“With this production method we are able to achieve total reduction of 74% in water, 66% in energy use and 78% in carbon dioxide; a 5 times lower environmental impact than yarn made from 100% virgin cashmere. The virgin fibre comes from direct partnerships in Mongolia with their approved de-hairers; encouraging sustainable herding and grazing practices, promote high standards of animal welfare, and work to protect this traditional way of life within nomadic communities.

On top of this, Eco Cashmere is dyed using non-toxic, environmentally friendly dyes, only the virgin fibre part is dyed to blend in with the shade of the reclaimed fibre. The water used during this process is cleaned and returned to nature. “

All in all, a pretty superb cashmere, don’t you think?
