Star

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch – Ivory Chunky Rib Knit – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details

  • Composition: 100% Cashmere
  • Suggested gauge: 7gg
  • Weight: Regular

Overview Star is a tuck knit in pure cashmere at 7 gauge. Tuck stitches gather the yarn into a raised, softly cushioned texture that feels fuller than a plain knit of the same weight. A versatile choice for sweaters and cardigans.

The structure In a tuck stitch the needle takes a new loop of yarn without releasing the old one, so two loops sit together before they are knitted off. Repeated in a pattern, this gathers the fabric into small raised cells.

Feel and performance Cushioned and full, with the softness of pure cashmere. The regular weight makes it easy to wear indoors and out.

Best for

  • Sweaters
  • Cardigans
  • Scarves
  • Beanies

Additional design: 2×1 Rib Knit Design 1

  • Suggested gauge: 7gg or 5gg

Two knit columns alternate with one purl column, giving a rib with a slightly broader, flatter face than a 1×1. It keeps the stretch and recovery that ribs are known for. Available at 7 or 5 gauge.
