Knitting with CASHMERE PREMIUM

CASHMERE PREMIUM — Lang Yarns (review)

There are yarns that feel luxurious, and then there’s something a step beyond — cashmere that reads as effortless, precious and utterly wearable. CASHMERE PREMIUM from Lang Yarns sits squarely in that rarified place. After knitting a simple rectangular scarf to learn its manners, I can honestly say this 100% top-quality cashmere changes how you think about softness, warmth and weight.

First touch

Unwinding the first ball felt like opening a whisper — the yarn is astonishingly light and soft. It’s not simply soft in the way many luxury yarns are; there’s an airy warmth to it that makes modest stitches look and feel special. The 115 m per 25 g tells you these fibres are very fine, concentrated into featherlight yarn that produces fabric with surprising substance.

How it knitted up

Working with 3.5 mm needles the stitches smoothed together and the scarf took shape almost reverently. The fabric is ethereal yet warm — the kind of piece you drape over your shoulders and immediately notice the difference. Because the yarn is so fine and delicate, every stitch counts; that means simple patterns sing. The stitch definition is lovely, and the finished cloth has a gentle bounce rather than a heavy hang.

Wearability and projects

This yarn is made for investment pieces: scarves, heirloom shawls, light-but-warm wraps and next-to-skin accessories. It’s perfect when the goal is timeless elegance rather than daily rough-and-tumble. I wouldn’t pick it for hard-wearing children’s items, heavy outerwear or anything likely to suffer dirt and abrasion — this is the kind of yarn you treat with care so it rewards you for years.

Care & longevity

Hand-washing feels appropriate — more than ritual, it’s a practical way to protect these delicate fibres. Use cool water, a gentle wool detergent, press water out gently, reshape and lay flat to dry. Treat it kindly and the fabric will keep its loft, warmth and softness; neglected care risks flattening the very qualities that make this cashmere exceptional.

Value judgement

CASHMERE PREMIUM is a real investment. At 115 m per 25 g the yarn is fine and not economical in volume terms, but it concentrates exceptional fibre quality into pieces that feel heirloom-worthy. If you’re looking to create a garment or accessory that will be cherished for decades, the cost per project begins to look reasonable compared with what a piece this beautiful will deliver.

Final verdict

CASHMERE PREMIUM is cashmere in its most refined form: featherlight, warm and profoundly comfortable. If you’re ready to knit something that’s less a garment and more an experience — a scarf or shawl you reach for on the best mornings — this yarn will repay the care it needs.
