We’re always searching for exciting, innovative yarns, and now carrying Fonty, we have lots headed our way! The first is Cocache, a fingering-weight cotton-cashmere blend that is, in a word, divine. We’re thrilled to carry this truly unique yarn.
Cocache is a 7-ply worsted-spun yarn with a dense structure that offers stitch definition and drape. But, unlike many traditional all-cotton yarns, the addition of cashmere creates a light, soft, luxurious hand. The colors are deeply saturated with just a touch of lustre, creating a truly luxurious yarn!
Even better: this yarn is machine-washable! With its easy care, Cocache will be your new go-to for snuggly baby and kids’ clothes and accessories (not to mention your own shawls, easy-to-wear tops for adults, and more). Below, we have some pattern picks for you to get you thinking about how you’ll use Cocache!
