Heavy Lace Weight Recycled Cashmere Yarn in Pale Blue Gray

100% cashmere yarn, carefully reclaimed from a gently worn Banana Republic men's sweater.  This heavy lace weight yarn is made up of two fine 2-ply strands held together, and the color is a soft, pale blue-gray. Soft, yet strong.

This sweater yielded four skeins:

• 640 yards / 585 meters, 3.4 ounces / 96 grams, 0-2 knots (Quantity: 2)
• 620 yards / 567 meters, 3.3 ounces / 94 grams, no knots
• 460 yards / 421 meters, 2.4 ounces / 69 grams, no knots

Please review all photos carefully before purchasing, and contact us if you have any questions.

Would you like your skein wound into a center-pull ball?  We would be happy to wind your yarn for you free of charge.  Just leave us a note when you place your order.

Cashmere is light, warm, soft, and surprisingly durable. Handwash in lukewarm water with a wool-safe detergent (or a squirt of shampoo and a dab of conditioner), and dry flat.

Did you know–soaring US demand for cashmere has devastated parts of China’s landscape? Overgrazing by cashmere-producing goats has led to the “desertification” of formerly rich grasslands. If you want to help reduce demand, enjoy the luxury of cashmere in a more thoughtful way, by buying recycled yarn instead of new.
