Project Inspiration
The Lyle Cap is a free pattern from Blue Sky Fibers that takes just one skein of Eco-Cashmere!
For a more colorful cap, try the Skyline Slouch – a skein in each of four colors gives you enough yarn to knit a hat for yourself and for a friend!
Wrap yourself in luxury with the Princeton Capelet, a simple knit that’s simply perfect for fall.
Two words: Cashmere. Brioche. Andrea Mowry’s Ramble. (Two skeins of each color.)
Stop in through August 20 to see the Eco-Cashmere trunk show for more project ideas!
