chroma nima cashmere

chroma nima cashmere is a wonderfully soft lace weight yarn at 13 metres per gram, with an average fibre length of 34 - 38mm at less than 16 microns. It's also certified sustainable, traceable and organic.

Over the last decade I've approached a lot of cashmere suppliers. Some of them use buzzwords like 'sustainable' and 'animal welfare', but offer very little proof of it. 

I'm so happy to have found a great supplier who look after their animals, people and the environment, and to prove it hold the following certifications:

ISO9001 - quality management systems and best practice

ISO14001 - quality and the environment

OKEO-Tex Standard 100 (EU Trusted Textiles)

Responsible Wool Standard

GOTS Organic Textile Standard

Global Recycled Standard

To wash your finished project, soak in a cold water bath with a little wool-friendly soap, squeeze the water out and dry flat. Try not to agitate in water or wring dry which will lead to felting or misshaping.
