Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK

• 75% extra fine merino, 20% silk, 5% cashmere - made in Italy. Cool hand wash, do not tumble dry.
• Knit as approx DK - 116m per ball. 22 stitches and 28 rows will give a 10cm tension square on 4mm needles.
• The manufacturers have created two ranges of this yarn - one for babies and one for non-babies!! However the yarn is exactly the same - so white is exactly the same in both ranges, except the balls band are different (so don't be put off if you are knitting for a 40 year old and the ball band says "baby"!) So what we have done is combine the colours so you can select from the full range - so a baby can wear black and an adult can wear peach!
• The yarn has a lovely spiral type crepe twist which was all the rage at the trade show, but we think that this is the best and it has a wonderful range of patterns to compliment it.
