Cable Knit with Half Cardigan

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch Taupe Cable Knit Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details Composition: 70% Wool, 30% Cashmere Suggested gauge: 12gg Weight: Regular

Overview Raised cables are framed by half cardigan stitch, a tuck rib that adds loft between the cable columns. At 12 gauge the texture stays refined rather than bulky. The wool and cashmere blend holds the pattern crisply and wears well.

The structure Half cardigan is a rib in which one set of needles tucks on alternate rows, so the fabric opens up and becomes fuller. Placed between cables, it gives a soft, rounded ground that makes the crossed stitches stand out.

Feel and performance Lofty and warm for its weight, with the natural bounce of wool. The cashmere takes away any scratchiness, so it is comfortable against the skin.
