▣ Weaving Recommendations
Ideal for both warp and weft use. The Merino content gives tensile strength and bounce, while Cashmere adds softness and a refined matte sheen. For delicate woven fabrics or scarves, a sett of 12–16 EPI works beautifully. For thicker or multi-strand weaving, reduce the sett proportionally to highlight the yarn’s natural loft.
▣ Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
Do not wring or twist
Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight
