Nesting Wrap Kit: Cashmere

By Jade Sapphire, Bristol Ivy

This is a yarn to relish, to knit slowly, a marvel. You’re creating an heirloom, as light as a purr, warmer than seems possible. It’s the yarn we have loved since the moment we saw it: 100% Mongolian cashmere.

This kit includes four skeins of 4-ply cashmere, a PDF download of Bristol Ivy’s Nesting Wrap pattern, and a muslin project bag. Free shipping, too.

Please note: this pattern is provided in digital PDF format only. See our FAQ for more details.

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Jane and Ken Saffir have made a single fiber, 100% Mongolian cashmere, the heart of their entire business, Jade Sapphire Exotic Fibres.

They source it themselves, from Mongolia. They dye it themselves, in a palette that grows and grows.

And they are among the most delightful people you will meet in the yarn world. They were kind to us as we made our very first visit with a yarn maker, back before we launched MDK. Since then, we have searched for a pattern that would be the perfect way to spend time with this most luxurious of yarns. With Bristol Ivy’s Nesting Wrap, we think we have hit on a rare, beautiful match of yarn and pattern.
