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.

Other Pattern Ideas

For a one-skein Sylph test flight, we recommend the Sylph Cowl, a free pattern.

And there’s the lush Assembler by Grace Anna Farrow.

Ranunculus by Midori Hirose. Really! Go look at the projects and see how lovely Ranunculus looks in a lacy, light yarn.

Finally, we love the Jet Stream Shawl by Heidi Kirrmaier. Clean stockinette and artful eyelets make this the epitome of sophisticated design.
