CASHSILK is a rare luxury Italian yarn that combines three of the most desirable knitting fibers in a single strand: cashmere for softness, silk for elegant drape and natural luminosity, and merino wool for elasticity, structure, and durability. With 60% luxury fibers and approximately 1300 meters per 100 grams, this lace-weight yarn creates refined garments that are softer and more elegant than traditional merino while remaining more practical and resilient than many pure cashmere blends. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, machine knitting, weaving, and luxury custom fiber blends.

What makes CASHSILK special is balance. The silk creates beautiful movement and a refined finish, the cashmere provides exceptional comfort next to the skin, and the merino helps garments maintain their shape and wear beautifully over time. The result is a yarn that feels luxurious, looks sophisticated, and performs exceptionally well in everyday wear.
