Worsted / Aran Cashmere Yarn

Cashmere at worsted weight is the quickest route to the softest fabric there is: a hat or cowl takes a skein or two on US 7–8 needles, and a blend with merino or silk keeps the price and the pilling down.

Treat it gently — hand wash, dry flat, and expect a little halo with wear. The blends here hold their shape far better than a pure cashmere single.
