This yarn is simply incredible – light as a cloud yet wonderfully warm. It's perfect for creating accessories that can be worn directly on the skin. With just 2 skeins, you can make a small scarf that wraps around your neck at least twice, like the Scarf No 3 from My Favorite Things Knitwear. For a larger piece, like the Scala Scarf by Lene Holme Samsøe, or Bulla by Orla Sucche you will need 3 skeins.

My tips:
For this slightly textured yarn, I recommend using a stockinette stitch pattern to give a more uniform feel and highlight the softness of the yarn. Garter stitch doesn't work as well, as the yarn is a bit irregular.

It's not ideal for baby garments, as it's too fluffy. For those projects, I would suggest using Cardiff Cashmere Classic instead.
