Sylph
By Jade Sapphire
$43.00
Cashmere and linen, together. Sylph creates a fabric that we’ve never seen before, light and summery.
Sylph is the yarn that makes the magical stripes in Amy Christoffers’s Shakerag Top in Field Guide No. 6: Transparency.

Cashmere is tender. The tenderest, really.
Linen is sturdy. Extremely sturdy.
With Sylph, mixing 42% linen with 58% cashmere creates a yarn with extreme tenderness and sturdiness.
The light fingering weight means that Sylph is a fine choice for elegant shawls, wraps, and scarves.
Sylph is the yarn of choice for Amy Christoffers’s Shakerag Top in Field Guide No. 6: Transparency. See all the pattern details over at Ravelry, here.
