    Shifting Chevrons Cashmere Kit

    • This incredible yarn set with  45 colours, each comprised of 3 dyes in differing, exacting proportions: This is Chroma Nima's amazing Colour Theory Cashmere set plus the 3D intarsia scarf pattern!


      Dyed by Vicky Streater in neighbouring Wimbledon, this cashmere is a certified sustainable, traceable and organic, wonderfully soft lace weight yarn.

      Cashmere quality is below 16 microns! (that's very very soft!)

      All of the rich, dark colours of autumn: gold, flame, spruce, plum, grey, rust... 

      Your Kit Includes:
      • 45 colourways in 5g / 37m balls, plus a swatch ball for gauge swatches
      • printed, hard-copy pattern

      The Pattern

      If we think of knitted fabric just like a sheet of paper, and we can fold sheets of paper into amazing shapes then we can fold knitted fabric too. Garter stitch is such a strong, static fabric with no desire to turn or twist in any particular direction. Stocking stitch columns (vertical and diagonal) want to turn the fabric, and Vicky used this natural inclination to create folds.

      This pattern uses garter stitch, stocking stitch and twisted stitches to create the fabric. Intarsia is used to manage colours. Difficulty level: advanced. (Recommended needle size is 3.5mm.)

      Another brilliant pattern for this yarn set is Olga Jazzy's Aranami Shawl (as shown), or check out some of Kieran Foley's designs for more ideas...

      Chroma Nima's creator, Vicky Streater, lives in Wimbledon with her husband, three children and gorgeous greyhound. She is passionate about colour and the environment, and obsessed by colour gradients and the mechanics of how colours change from one to the other. She loves natural dyes for their serendipity and refusal to be predictable. She loves the quietness of the process of knitting, how it's so creative, meditative and useful.

      Her cashmere is certified organic, traceable and sustainable with an average fibre length of 34 - 38mm at less than 16 microns. The sustainable commercial dyes she uses are very "wash and light fast", and are founders of the global Responsible Care® initiative and a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. The organic botanical dyes she works with have been chosen for their light and wash fast qualities.

      All of her packaging is from recycled paper and are recyclable. The electricity used to dye her yarn is from renewable sources. She has experimented with reducing the amount of water in her dyeing, and now only uses a third of what she used to. She doesn't use toxic auxiliaries or mordants and takes care to ensure her dye baths are fully exhausted.
