Cashsoft DK by RYC
5.5 sts/inch on US 6s
57% Merino, 33% Microfiber, 10% Cashmere
142 yards. Color: 512
This yarn is a dream to knit with. I just enjoyed the swatch making process. I don’t normally, but this time it flew past. I was also surprised since I got the suggest gauge above with the correct needle size.
This yarn is prominently featured in Grumperina’ Odessa pattern and Ysolda’s Elijah pattern. I can imagine that Elijah would be a cuddle must for little kids that receive him since the yarn is so soft.
The stitch definition was beautiful. I enjoyed the tight but soft twist. I assume this yarn is woolen spun since is squishes nicely. I had no bleeding what so ever. Bonus this yarn is machine washable and air dry. I think a machine washing might have evened out the stitches a bit more but I am happy with the occasional funny stitch leg.
If anyone has used this yarn, could you share the wearablity issues? How does it wear? Does it still look great a year later?

Thanks for reviewing this one! I haven’t knit anything with it yet, but I have ten balls in almost that same color in my stash that I’m hoarding
Saving it for something extra special, you know! Your info will help me decide….
I’m making something in the Cashsoft 4-ply for the Ravelympics. Though it’s likely different from the DK, I’ll let you know how it wears.
