Compatible Cashmere from Knitting for Olive is 100% cashmere in a laceweight that's designed to work both independently and as a companion yarn alongside other Knitting for Olive products: the weight and colour range are calibrated to pair seamlessly with their merino and cotton merino bases. Used alone it produces a fabric of exceptional softness and delicate drape. Paired with a base yarn it adds warmth, softness, and a halo without significantly changing the gauge. A true luxury yarn that rewards the extra care it requires: hand wash gently and dry flat.

indulgent fibres with excellent manners

Compatible cashmere 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.
