TEHETE 100% Cashmere Yarn for Crocheting 3-Ply Warm Soft Luxurious Fuzzy Knitting Yarn (Beige)

I saw people complaining about the quality of the yarn, and that it breaks easily. However, it feels very durable despite being thin. The yarn feels buttery smooth to work with, I recommend using a 2.5 mm crochet hook (us terms) for this yarn. It's not very hard to work with, however, if you're not used to crocheting with thin yarn it might take a second to get into the rhythm. At first I was concerned with how small the ball of yarn was. However, it's great value, as its very thin and the balls compact, so its more yarn than you believe it is. It's expensive but worth the investment, sooo much more breathable, luxurious, and comfortable than acrylic yarn!

I made the perfect sleep sack for my newborn using these. The color is beautiful, I had no thread breakage, and it was bundled well .

This cashmere yarn is Light Fingering...3-ply. There's a photo in the description qualifying it as Sport-weight yarn. Definitely not. It's between Lace (2-ply) and Fingering (4-ply). Good for scarves, cowls, hats, etc. If you used it double, it'd probably be good for sweaters. I'm going to start a cowl and see how it knits.I did a burn test on a small strand of the yarn. It burns (and smells) like hair, and not nylon or acrylic, which is good.The price is not quite a bargain, although it's a decent price. Yardage is 273 yds (250m) for Light Fingering, at $16/50g. I have found similar Cashmere for $12/50g on Etsy.All that said, the yarn is nicely plied...not too tight...and is beautifully soft. I bought a heathered color, which is very pretty. I read that the best grade Cashmere is not dyed, so this is not the top grade. But it doesn't seem to "haze" when rubbed...another sign of decent Cashmere. Can't wait to start a cowl and will update how it goes.

Like the color and disliked how small for the price. But it is cashmere.

Very nice soft yarn. Will purchase it again in the future.

Unfortunately, I have to revise my review.The yarn seemed very good at first, nice and soft.I did a burn test on it. This is how you can determine if it is 100% cashmere. Unfortunately, the yarn failed the test. There may be cashmere in it, but I assume no more than 20-30%.Since it felt good in my hand, I decided to start my planned project with it. During knitting, it turned out that in addition to synthetic, there is a mixture of woolen yarn and it flies a lot during work. Unfortunately, I am allergic to wool :(

Do not expect what the pictures show. Even the picture of the women holding the skein. This is the smallest skein of yarn I've ever paid that much money for. My fiance' know I was waiting for this yarn & was so excited to crochet a long sweater jacket. He brought in the package after it was delivered (because I'm recovering from surgery) & he said "your going to crochet a sweater with is". It was because the package was SO LITTLE. When I opened it, MY HEART BROKE because the 3 skeins i bought could fit in one hand. Just a warning not to expect a "regular" skein of yarn. Yes, its soft & yes it crochet nicely, if you use two skeins at once to crochet with the size 4 mm crochet needle that was recommended.. However, now instead of my sweater costing the $50 I spent on these 3 skeins, I'm going to end paying 3 times that for the pattern i already bought. When you read a skein of yarn had almost 300 yards, you expect something completely different then what you receive. Just buyer beware & expect a really really small skein of yarn that you'll need to use two skeins at once.

I do love this yarn. I’ve purchased it multiple times in multiple colors and used it for a variety of knitting projects. I must say: I don’t have the same complaints others have had.Few things: many say this yarn breaks easily. I’m sorry, but that’s cashmere. Speaking as someone who also spins yarn from raw fleece, cashmere has a staple length that’s similar to cotton, meaning each individual hair is much, much shorter than wool. And that aspect makes it easier to break. It’s inherent in 100% cashmere rather than a defect of this brand. If you want cashmere that isn’t easier to break, you have to purchase a wool/cashmere blend.Second, some complain about the size. It’s seems to be a standard fingering weight. If you’ve only ever bought yarn in chain stores and are unfamiliar with the term, it’s a weight that one would typically use for knitting socks. I use it for gloves, hats, and mostly shawls. But if you want a regular worsted weight, buy twice as much yardage and hold two strands together. It’ll be a little thicker than worsted, almost somewhere between worsted and aran weight, but not enough to make a huge difference unless you’re doing sweaters and need to make adjustments to your pattern (in which case you ought to swatch your project first anyway).I love this yarn, and I’d never be able to buy 100% cashmere otherwise if not for this brand.
