Faux cashmere was out of stock. But I’m quite pleased with the faux angora. It’s easy to spin and quite soft. I haven’t had a chance to dye any yet but am looking forward to it.
Extremely soft and a great copy of the real thing.
Arrived about a week ago and as yet I have not had time to process! however, it all has lovely handle and looks great. I look forward to spinning.
Was so easy to work with. Super Soft, will be buying more.
great. on all aspects
Cashmere is famously luxurious because of the effort that goes into the manufacturing of the material; the wool is combed from the underbelly of the Capra Hircus goat, sometimes referred to as the Cashmere Goat. This particular breed of goat is only found at extremely high altitude, famously in the Himalayas. Cashmere is luxuriously soft, with high napability and loft. Suitable to be blended with wool to create a heavenly blend with added loft and softness.
The downside to true Cashmere fiber is that for some it is too expensive, thanks to man-made technologies now people can experience the joy of cashmere at a fraction of the price! This Faux Cashmere Roving has many of the qualities of true cashmere such as the way it feels and its handle. The process of stretching the nylon fibers extremely thin creates a down-like fiber that is remarkable. The resulting product feels just like cashmere and is just as soft. This fiber dyes beautifully and is a TRUE white. Words can not express the feel of this fiber! Try it out for yourself and include it in your next spinning or blending project!
This fiber has a long staple length of 4-6 inches
