Tuck Knit

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch – Cream and Black Diamond Stripe Weave – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details Composition: 100% Cashmere Suggested gauge: 7gg Weight: Heavy

Overview Tuck stitches hold loops over more than one row, creating a raised, honeycomb-like texture and extra thickness. In pure cashmere at 7 gauge the fabric is warm, cushioned and soft, and suits sweaters, cardigans and winter accessories.

The structure Holding loops before knitting them off makes a tuck fabric wider and thicker than a plain knit in the same yarn. The held loops form the small raised cells that give the surface its depth.

Feel and performance Thick, cushioned and insulating. A good choice when warmth matters more than drape.
