Cable Knit

Cashmere cotton fabric swatch Mocha Brown Wide Rib Knit – Castello Cashmere Industries

Product details Composition: 70% Wool, 30% Cashmere Suggested gauge: 12gg Weight: Regular

Overview The classic cable: stitches crossed to form rope-like columns on a smooth ground. Knitted at 12 gauge in a wool and cashmere blend, it gives definition and warmth without excess weight. A dependable base for sweaters, vests and scarves.

The structure Each cable is formed by lifting a few stitches and crossing them over their neighbours at regular intervals. The crossings draw the fabric in, so cable panels are denser and warmer than plain knit in the same yarn.

Feel and performance Firm and clearly defined, with a soft surface. The wool content helps the cables keep their shape wash after wash.
