Moss Knit & Pointelle Structure

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch – Rust Rib Knit – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details

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

Overview Fine-grained moss stitch alternates with pointelle eyelets, setting a matte, textured ground against delicate openwork. Knitted at 12 gauge in wool and cashmere, it is soft to the touch with enough body to show the pattern clearly.

The structure Moss stitch swaps knit and purl from stitch to stitch and from row to row, which produces an even, grainy surface. Pointelle eyelets are worked into that ground, so the fabric moves between solid texture and open pattern.

Feel and performance Matte and softly textured, with a little air from the eyelets. It lies flat and keeps its shape well.

Best for

  • Sweaters
  • Cardigans
  • Knitted tops
  • Shawls

Additional design: 1×1 Rib Knit

  • Suggested gauge: 7gg, 5gg or 4gg

The classic rib: single knit and purl columns alternate across the fabric, so it stretches easily and springs back. At 7, 5 or 4 gauge it runs from a medium rib to a very chunky one.
