Overview
Several cables run side by side in this heavy 5-gauge knit, giving a deep, sculpted surface. The silk in the blend adds a soft sheen and fluid drape, while the cashmere keeps it warm and gentle on the skin. A strong choice for statement sweaters and cardigans.
The structure
Cables are made by crossing groups of stitches over one another, which stacks the yarn and lifts the pattern off the surface. Using more than one cable across the width gives the fabric a rhythm of raised columns and makes it noticeably thicker than a flat knit in the same yarn.
Feel and performance
With more silk than cashmere, this is the smoothest and most lustrous blend in the library. It drapes well and catches the light, while the heavy gauge keeps it substantial and warm.
