Baby Cashsoft Worsted from Rowan combines superwash extrafine merino, acrylic, and cashmere in a worsted weight that manages to be both genuinely luxurious and practically minded. The cashmere contributes exceptional softness, the extrafine merino adds elasticity and structure, and the acrylic (often underappreciated in a blend like this) provides durability and helps the yarn hold its shape through washing. The colour palette is reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement: rich, considered tones with a historical depth that suits the quality of the yarn. Superwash treated and machine washable on a gentle cycle: unusually practical for a yarn with cashmere in it.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Baby cashsoft worsted is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
