Description:

Please note that yardage is approximate and varies by spinner. Each sport weight weight yardage falls within the range of 260-359 yards.

Handspun, undyed cashgora yarn.  Spun by a women's co-operative in Tajikistan. The cashgora is raised by farmers in the Pamir mountains in the southern part of the country. The goats are combed and the fiber is sent to be washed and de-haired in Afghanistan. The fiber is then distributed to the spinners in seven different villages in Tajikistan - three in the north and four in the south.

About Cashgora:

Cashgora refers to goats that are a crossbreed of Angora (mohair) and cashmere-producing goats. The resulting fiber produces a yarn with the best qualities of each goat breed - the strength and shine from Angora and the softness of cashmere. Though technically not as fine as cashmere, cashgora ranges between 18 and 23 microns, similar to the softness of Merino wool. This yarn is durable, less prone to pilling than cashmere, and gets high marks for drape in your finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of your most common yarn-buying questions, answered!

Will you wind yarn ordered online?

Absolutely! Just leave a note at checkout. It might add a day to our shipping time, depending on how busy the winder is that day, but that doesn't happen very often.

What are your shipping policies?

We ship same- or next-day, via USPS whenever possible, worldwide, by weight. Free shipping on orders over $150.

What is your return policy?

We accept returns on all items within 60 days, provided items are unused and in original condition. We cannot accept returns on wound yarn.

What if it's been more than 60 days?

We always want you to be sure you get enough of your dye lot to complete your project, and we get that sometimes projects take longer than expected. We're almost always able to accept returns of "just in case" extra yarn outside the 60-day window, but it requires the owner's approval so please be patient if you stop by and she isn't here!
