The Yarn Specialist Cashsilk Bliss – cashmere silk lace yarn

Cashsilk Bliss – cashmere and silk lace yarn for fine shawls

Cashsilk Bliss by The Yarn Specialist is a lace yarn in 75% cashmere and 25% silk for shawls, stoles, light scarves and fine accessories. The cashmere makes the stitches soft, while the silk gives the yarn a fine sheen and a fluid drape.

The fibre combination gives clear, even stitch definition with a subtle lustre. Lace patterns and lace textures stand out clearly. Choose your colour from the options.

What Cashsilk Bliss is suited to

This lace yarn is intended for light, airy projects. It suits shawls, bridal stoles and thin scarves, where drape and softness matter. Because the thread is fine, you knit it with fine needles. The result is a delicate, lightweight fabric that feels soft against the skin.

Tips for working with it

Choose a pattern written specifically for lace yarn, so that needle size and yarn weight match. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. With lace patterns, it is worth taking your time with a fine yarn like this one and knitting in good light, so that you can clearly see yarn overs and decreases.
