Cashmere Charis – soft, elegant, and irresistible

I’m so excited to introduce you to Cashmere Charis – one of my absolute favorite yarns, now lovingly available in my shop. The name says it all: just like the graceful Charis from Greek mythology, this yarn embodies charm, beauty, and creativity – and you can feel it in every stitch!

The blend of ultra-fine merino and luxurious cashmere is simply irresistible. The merino comes from Australian sheep on mulesing-free farms and is certified according to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) – so you can enjoy it with complete peace of mind. At just 17.5 microns, it’s incredibly soft while still being strong enough for long-lasting projects. This natural fiber is breathable, regulates temperature, and is hypoallergenic – perfect for anything worn directly on the skin.

The Mongolian cashmere at 15.5 microns adds unmatched elegance and coziness. Together, they create a blend that feels like a gentle hug – luxurious, soft, light, and an absolute dream to knit.

Cashmere Charis is spun in the renowned Cariaggi mill, which also supplies brands like Brunello Cucinelli and Chanel. Every batch is carefully tested, pre-washed, and inspected – ensuring color brilliance, resistance to pilling, and a long-lasting, luxuriously soft texture.

For me, this yarn represents sustainable quality, fair production, and a joy to knit and wear – exactly what I want to offer in my shop. Choosing Cashmere Charis means treating yourself to a knitting experience full of comfort, luxury, and pure delight.

Why do you offer only a small selection of yarn?
I carefully choose every yarn so it perfectly suits my designs and feels wonderful to knit. Quality always comes before quantity – so you can be sure every fiber is just right.

Are the yarns sustainable?
Absolutely! Sustainability is really important to me. I only work with producers who care about fair working conditions and eco-friendly materials, so you can knit with a good conscience.

How do I find the right yarn for my project?
All my patterns and kits clearly state which yarn works best. And if you’re unsure, I’m always happy to give advice – I want you to enjoy your project from start to finish.

Can I buy the yarn separately?
Of course! Some of the yarns are available in the shop so you can create your project exactly the way you imagine it.
