Some yarns are quietly luxurious.

Prime by Cardiff Cashmere is a brushed cashmere and silk yarn with a wonderfully soft, fluffy surface and exceptional lightness.

I recommend Prime both solo for delicate scarves, light tops, and cherished items, and as a companion yarn when projects need even more softness and depth. The fine yardage and brushed structure create an airy, light project with a very special character.

What I particularly like about it

What I like about Prime is this combination of fluffiness, lightness, and luxury. As a solo yarn, it appears delicate and elegant; as a companion yarn, it gives projects a wonderfully soft aura. In the shop, I like to recommend it when something truly special is sought – a yarn that feels as light as a cloud and brings with it that typical fine Cardiff quality.

Responsibility & Origin

What I particularly appreciate about Cardiff Cashmere is not only the exceptional quality of the yarns but also the philosophy behind it.

Prime is entirely produced in Italy, in the traditional textile district of Biella. A wealth of artisanal knowledge remains alive there, and at the same time, short production routes ensure a conscious use of resources. The cashmere fibers come from selected farms in Inner Mongolia, where animal welfare plays an important role.

Such yarns are a perfect fit for my shop precisely because quality and ethics go hand in hand.
