I have to let you in on a little secret. Whenever Knit Outta the Box receives new product it is always shipped to our warehouse in Michigan. It never comes to my house here in DC. So, like when our first order of ready-to-wear iMitts from Bolivia came in, Brandy, the Queen (and my hero) of our warehouse & fulfillment center was the first to see them. I had her send me pics immediately and then ship me some, but seriously, it’s not the same as opening the box for the first time and getting giddy with excitement at what’s inside. The exact same scenario took place with our Afghanistan cashmere. You know that picture I posted with those cute little balls of cashmere – samples all. I might have had 10 yards max of each color. But, yesterday I received 4 skeins of the cashmere in the mail! Big, beautiful, buttery soft AND 82 yards of each! It wasn’t quite the same as opening a box filled to the brim with cashmere, but I must admit, I did get a little giddy.

So, Laurie, what are you going to make with your Cashmere? It would be great to “hear” your thought process about your next project! Thanks. Chris
Hey Chris. The first thing I made when I was “trying out” the yarn was an Infinity Scarf. As I write this I am getting ready to photograph a Cowl version that I am going to offer as a FREE pattern. Stay tuned for pics!
I can’t wait to see your pictures – they are always tempting!
