The Cashmere Story
Coastal Cashmere begins its journey in the vast Gobi Desert, a landscape cherished by the resilient cashmere goats that yield this sumptuous fiber. From the rugged expanse of the desert, the raw cashmere travels to a storied mill nestled in the Scottish heartlands. Here, the legacy of textile artisans from the mill of Todd & Duncan, coupled with Scotland’s crystal-clear waters of the Loch Leven, the yarn’s plush texture and lustrous finish comes to life. Finally, the yarn arrives at my studio in the USA where it is skillfully plied and skeined. Each skein is meticulously labeled and packaged, ready to be cherished by discerning crafters in our vibrant fiber community.
Scottish Milling: The cashmere fiber used for Coastal Cashmere is milled in the heart of Scotland, harnessing centuries-old techniques to create a product that is rich in history and quality. Working with Todd & Duncan cashmere is a dream come true.
Luxurious Softness: Cashmere is chosen for its ultra-fine fibers, resulting in a yarn that is incomparably soft to the touch, ideal for creations that will feel soft and cozy next to your skin.
Cashmere Is For Everyone: Cashmere is naturally hypo-allergenic which is a gift for those with sensitive skin. As a fabric, it is lightweight and breathable and a natural body temperature regulator, making it perfect for all ages, especially babies!
Eco-Conscious Milling: In collaboration with the Scottish mill, I am dedicated to eco-friendly practices that honor traditional craftsmanship while protecting Scotland’s pristine natural beauty.
Innovative Cable Ply: Employing an innovative cable-plying method, the delicate fibers are transformed into robust yarn that knits beautifully into durable, pill-resistant fabric that’s both indulgent and machine washable.
