Cashmere Naturally Dyed Yarns

Luxury fiber meets botanical color. Our cashmere yarns bring softness and drape to lace shawls and next-to-skin knits, naturally dyed in small batches at our West Virginia dye works.

Lace Weight Cashmere/Silk pairs cashmere’s warmth with silk’s sheen in a gossamer 50/50 blend from Italy. At 431 yards per 50-gram skein, this creates shawls with exceptional drape and a subtle halo. The silk structure supports larger stitch patterns while cashmere adds cloud-soft warmth.

DK Weight Cashmere Blend adds 10% cashmere to superwash merino and recycled nylon for an everyday luxury. The cashmere softens without sacrificing durability — this works for sweaters, cowls, and accessories that need both structure and next-to-skin comfort. 437 yards per 100 grams knits efficiently at DK gauge.

Both bases take natural dyes with remarkable depth. Madder creates rose and crimson tones that glow against cashmere’s natural cream. Indigo develops complex blue-greys. Plant tannins produce earth tones with subtle variation skein to skein.

Care: Hand wash cool, lay flat. Cashmere blooms beautifully with gentle blocking. The lace weight silk/cashmere blend air dries quickly; the DK weight cashmere/merino blend benefits from wool-safe detergent and patient drying away from heat.
