Wool Yarn for Knitting & Crocheting

A hand-knit garment is an investment in time and craft, but using premium-quality wool yarn made with natural fibers will make sure your garment lasts for years! Use our yarns for:

  • Knitting - our curated yarns are perfectly soft and glide effortlessly across your needles. Each stitch will feel as satisfying as wearing your finished garment. 
  • Crocheting - our wool and wool-blend yarns are perfect for crochet as well! Keep in mind you’ll likely need 25%–30% more yarn than a knit project of the same size to account for the plush texture of crochet stitches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Think of yarn weights like the layers in your closet - it all depends on how much warmth or heaviness you're looking for! Here’s the quick rundown:

  • Lace - gossamer-thin, used for delicate, airy shawls
  • Fingering - lightweight and fine, the go-to for elegant summer tops or intricate baby clothes
  • Sock - a type of fingering weight yarn but made to be extra durable, so it can handle the wear and tear on your feet
  • Sport - a bit thicker, perfect for light sweaters or heirloom-quality blankets.
  • DK (Double Knitting) - not too heavy, not too thin, ideal for everyday cardigans and hats.
  • Worsted - the most popular choice, knits up quickly into cozy sweaters, scarves, and mittens.
  • Bulky - chunky and warm, great for thick winter beanies and fast gift knitting.
  • Super Bulky - the "giant" yarn, used for those trendy, oversized blankets and super-plush cowls that you can finish in a single afternoon.

While pure cashmere is incredibly soft, it doesn’t spring back into shape as easily as some blends.

Use 100% cashmere for cowls, scarves, and luxury shawls. Cashmere blends often will work much better for sweaters or hats because the wool adds elasticity and the added fibers add strength and drape.

Unless the label specifies "Superwash," most wool and specialty fibers like cashmere will felt if put through a machine. We recommend hand-washing in lukewarm water with a gentle wool wash and laying flat to dry.

At Cashmere Goat, we want to make sure you have all the books and tools you need so that your yarn can blossom into a full garment. Shop our range of knitting needles, hooks, notions, knitting kits & crocheting kits, as well as our varied patterns for inspiration!
