In knitting and creating sweaters, it requires that a stitch is selected - It is a finishing techniques to give form and style to the garment. With our cashmere and cashmere blended we remember to make the yarn the star of the show. Sometimes a stitch can take away the hand-feel of the yarn. Your fingers should flow nicely on the front side of the stitch. Jersey is usually the best stitch for having the best surface feel. Tension on the knitting machine may also effect this, but most of the time jersey is the best. There are a number of stitches to be utilized, so keep this in mind.

We at Jonathan Kringle have adopted a mantra of "respect the cashmere", meaning that we will also respect the yarn by ensuring your sweater / knitted garment will have a great hand-feel. They yarn is the foundation of our design. Of course some yarns we use are selected for their purpose such as our Yak and Cashmere Blends, with these yarns we look to keep the wearer warm and properly insulated - Enjoy regularly!

Yak wool is warmer than merino, as soft as cashmere and as tough as camel, and so has made a welcome addition to a marketplace in a means to conserve cashmere fibers, animal overgrazing and environmental challenges. We at Jonathan Kringle are keenly aware of the global issues surrounding the cashmere and luxury products. Our contribution to combat this is the introduction of yak fiber to the collection, our yarn consists of a blend 70% Yak/30% Cashmere in a count of 2/18's Nm.. With a diameter of 15-20 microns, it is comparable to cashmere in softness while being 10-15% warmer than merino wool.

For the Yak, their thick coats provide crucial defense against the harsh climate. Descriptions of a yak's coat read like tags on technical apparel, with multiple protective layers each playing a role. The coarse, slick outer coat can stay on year-round, repelling moisture and ultraviolet rays, while an exceptionally fine, crimped undercoat of down provides insulation in winter. A mid range layer fills in the gaps and—like the outer coat—includes some fibers with insulating hollow cores. Natural breath-ability helps the body regulate its heat, keeping the wearer warm in the cold and cooler when temperatures rise.
