CALM – Cashmere Softness, Beautiful Definition
Settle into the exceptional softness of CALM, a luxurious blend of extra fine merino and pure cashmere. The merino measures just 16 microns, creating an indulgently soft yarn that feels beautiful against the skin.
Spun using both Z and S twists, CALM creates crisp, balanced stitch definition that allows every detail of your knitting to shine. Each cake is individually hand-dyed to order in a semi-solid colourway, adding subtle depth and visual texture to the finished fabric.
Perfect for:
- Soft, luxurious garments
- Next-to-skin accessories
- Cables and textured stitches
- Baby and children’s knits
- Special gift projects
Exclusive to McIntosh, this distinctive fibre blend and spinning technique bring together cashmere luxury, merino softness and beautifully defined stitches in one irresistible DK yarn.
