Classic is the pure cashmere yarn for knitting par excellence. Available from stock service in more than 60 colors, all carefully updated to the latest trends, it can be used for a wide selection of projects ranging from simple accessories to more complicated sweaters and cardigans. It works well with all knitting stitches and in particular with well-defined ones.
The best cashmere in the world comes from the highlands of Inner Mongolia, an impervious area of Central Asia whose temperature undergoes severe changes in temperature between the seasons and between day and night. To survive these conditions, Hircus goats develop very thick coats consisting of a rough outer coat and a fine and soft undercoat which is then combed at the beginning of the summer season and used in the textile industry. It is in this suggestive region of the world that Cardiff, through a responsible selection of suppliers, procures the best raw materials on the market.
