ECO CASHMERE DK from Nordic Yarn
Nordic Yarn Eco Cashmere is the ultimate soft and sustainable yarn!
Our Eco Cashmere is a sustainable luxurious mix of virgin and recycled cashmere. Inspired by the ever-changing nature of the North, this yarn is a combination of incredible softness, natural colours, and artisan craftsmanship.
Fibre Content: 100% Cashmere
Nordic Yarn Eco Cashmere is also available in a Fingering Weight (#1).
This yarn is made out of 100% Italian Cashmere, a blend of virgin cashmere and recycled cashmere, and is incredibly light-weight. This 100% cashmere, luxury yarn is an Earth-friendly mix of recycled and Mongolian pure virgin cashmere.
The recycled content helps make this cashmere less pill-prone than others so your garments and accessories still look great after a winter of wear.
Nordic Yarn Eco Cashmere: Not only is it probably the best yarn you’ll ever work with, but it is also a carbon balanced and climate-smart yarn.
With our Eco Cashmere we are able to achieve a total reduction of 74% in water, 66% in energy use and 78% in carbon dioxide; 5 times lower environmental impact than a similar normal yarn.
Look good in it, feel good about it - indulge in something lasting and lovely! Our Eco Cashmere is so snuggly and soft you'll have a hard time putting it down once you start knitting or crocheting with it. Garments and accessories alike will have a lush softness.
This yarn is lightweight (much lighter to wear than wool), luscious, lofty and soft, making it the perfect yarn to keep you warm but without the bulk or added weight. Our yarn is a truly eco-friendly luxury that you'll want to wrap yourself in from head to toe! Use our Eco-Cashmere to make hats, scarves, and shawls that you'll cherish for years to come.

“Not all cashmere is created equal”
“Cashmere. Just the word conjures images of sophistication. Like caviar and pearls, the fiber has humble beginnings. Who would think that the hair on the underbelly of the Mongolian goat would be in such high demand? But it has been for centuries, and because there is relatively little of it and because processing costs are high, it has traditionally been an indulgence.
In particular, Scotland and Italy are traditional centers of excellence when it comes to spinning and knitting cashmere.
…the very things that make cashmere so sought after: softness, (light)weight and its insulating properties.
Cashmere is eight times warmer than sheep's wool, yet significantly lighter…
Regardless of how much your cashmere costs, take every opportunity to wear it. Just as a Persian rug improves with age, cashmere's soft feel improves with wear.” – quoted from Sabrina Azadi & Tribune Newspapers
