Bamboo & Cashmere 2/60 Nm 250g

This bamboo and cashmere yarn is a very fine blended yarn, developed primarily for machine knitting and refined textile work. The fibre blend of 80% bamboo fibre and 20% cashmere offers a balance of softness, breathability, and strength, resulting in lightweight fabrics with a smooth, elegant drape.

With a yarn count of 2/60 Nm, this yarn is intentionally thin and consistent. It is ideal for high-gauge knitting machines and projects where precision and material quality matter.

Fibre choice and sustainability

Bamboo fibre is a plant-based material known for its smooth surface and moisture-regulating properties. When responsibly processed, it provides a durable alternative to fully synthetic fibres. The addition of cashmere enhances softness and warmth while maintaining a lightweight feel.

This yarn contains no high-concern chemicals and is designed to be cared for gently. Long fibre life and responsible use are key aspects of sustainability.

Intended use

This yarn is best suited for machine knitting, where its fine, even structure produces clean stitch definition and consistent results.

For hand knitting or crochet, the yarn can be used by holding two or more strands together to achieve a workable thickness. This allows flexibility without overstating the capabilities of such a fine yarn.

Final gauge will depend on strand count and individual tension.

Look and feel

The finished fabric is soft, lightweight, and fluid, making it suitable for garments worn close to the skin. Ideal projects include fine machine-knitted tops, lightweight sweaters, scarves, shawls, and delicate multi-strand handknit or crochet accessories.
