Lara

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch – Oatmeal Basic Jersey Knit – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details

  • Composition: 100% Cashmere
  • Suggested gauge: 5gg
  • Weight: Heavy

Overview Lara is a structure knit in pure cashmere, worked at a heavy 5 gauge for a full, three-dimensional surface. The chunky scale shows off the loft of the fibre and gives real warmth. Made for winter sweaters, throws and accessories.

The structure A structure knit builds its pattern from the stitches themselves, using combinations of knit, purl, tuck and held stitches instead of colour. At 5 gauge each stitch is large enough to see, so the texture is bold and easy to read.

Feel and performance Pure cashmere at a heavy gauge gives deep softness, high loft and a great deal of warmth for the weight.

Best for

  • Chunky sweaters
  • Throws
  • Scarves
  • Hats

Additional design: Jersey/Plain Knit Design 1

  • Suggested gauge: 12gg, 7gg or 5gg

Jersey is the simplest knit structure, with a smooth face of fine vertical columns and a lightly textured reverse. With no pattern to compete, the yarn itself is on show. It can be knitted at 12, 7 or 5 gauge, from a fine, light fabric to a chunky one.
