I was looking for yarn because I wanted to knit a Sophie Hood. Baby Cashmere is the best! I've knitted about four items in the Sophie series with other yarns, but this little scarf was so good that I decided to cast on in different colors, thinking I'd like to knit a special scarf, taking my time. Using two strands with 4mm needles, I'm making Miki Teragaki's The Holiday. Please refer to the gauge, etc. The sample is not included in the product. It's not itchy, it's fluffy and light, and I highly recommend this yarn for around the face and neck. It's very light and fluffy and soft. It doesn't itch even when held against the neck. The thickness looks similar to Opal 4-ply, but it's fluffy. Cream color sample. I've included comparison images. The Opal yarn is not included in the product. It's 50g with 350m. Will it result in a lighter piece? I knitted a chunky little scarf with one strand of orange-brown. I was able to knit it with one ball of 43g. It's fluffy and voluminous, yet surprisingly light. The little scarf is not included in the product. I knitted swatches. Mocha color is two strands with 3.5mm needles. Cream color is three strands with 5mm needles. Blue-gray is two strands with 5mm needles. Orange-brown is one strand with 3.5mm needles. It looks like it will have a very delicate finish. Please refer to this. The swatches are not included in the product. Sophie scarves are good with 1-2 strands. Sophie hoods are good with 3 strands. The small attached thread is a very thin, stretchy thread. I usually use it for ribbing on cuffs, etc., but I think it will make the fabric firmer if you knit it throughout.
