Pointelle Knit

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch – Navy and Cream Stripe Plain Weave – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details

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

Overview Small eyelets, opened by transferring stitches, form the pattern in this pointelle knit. The heavier 7-gauge scale makes the openwork bold and easy to read, and the silk in the blend lets the fabric drape softly.

The structure Each eyelet is made by transferring a stitch to the next needle, and the eyelets are arranged to draw the design. At 7 gauge the holes are larger than in fine pointelle, so the pattern becomes a feature of the garment.

Feel and performance Soft and fluid, with air moving through the openwork. Warm enough for cool evenings without feeling heavy.
