Here is a project I had in my mind for a long time. I think I was waiting for the perfect yarn and this is exactly what I have found with the Dolce. This exquisite brushed cashmere yarn is so awesome to work stranded colorwork as the fiber is brushed and each stitch tends to stick together. The result is a beautiful and voluptuous color pattern with the softness of the cashmere!
