Every year at TNNA, we visit the Dream in Color booth and pick out a new palette of Smooshy with Cashmere. Their selection of colors is overwhelming, ever-expanding, and cannot be contained by a color-card, so we wait to order until we can see them all in person.
Anne and I were delighted when a box arrived last week from Dream in Color, bursting with ten new shades of Smooshy with Cashmere and another special something that I’ll save for a later blog post.
Smooshy with Cashmere is an aptly-named blend of 70% superwash merino, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon. It’s hand-dyed in variegated and semi-solid colorways, deliciously soft and squishy, perfect for next-to-skin wear. It makes an amazing pair of socks or a special scarf, shawl, or cowl. Look for pattern ideas on our “Fingering weight” board over on Pinterest.
Look for Smooshy with Cashmere in the fingering weight section, and keep it in mind when an especially luxurious pair of socks is needed. See you at the shop!

What would you think of this for the Northallerton Hat? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/northallerton
My daughter has claimed the one I knit for class, and I want to knit one for myself, but I’d like to try something besides Baa Ram Ewe Titus.

Smooshy with Cashmere would make a truly luxurious “Northallerton.” We just got a brand new sock yarn in that would also be a great choice, called CoopKnits Socks Yeah! It comes in solid heathered colors, perfect for colorwork. Look for that in the fingering weight section here at the shop, and expect to see it on the blog in the coming weeks!
