Half Cardigan

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch White Tonal Stripe Gauze Weave Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details

  • Composition: 85% Cashmere, 15% Silk
  • Suggested gauge: 7gg
  • Weight: Heavy

Overview Half cardigan stitch gives this fabric its deep ribs and springy, lofty handle. The cashmere and silk blend adds a subtle lustre and a smoother drape than cashmere alone. At 7 gauge it makes generous sweaters, cardigans and scarves.

The structure Half cardigan is a 1×1 rib in which one needle bed tucks on every other row. The tucked loops widen the fabric and round out the ribs, giving the stitch its plump look and a slightly different face on each side.

Feel and performance Plush and elastic, with a smooth surface from the silk. It stretches comfortably and springs back.
