Show and Tell: Cashmere Cozy

Warmer weather is finally here, but if you want something cuddly (but not too big) to knit and prepare for next winter, this week's show and tell might be just the ticket.

EnchantingJuno on Ravelry made a Rachael's ISBN Cabled Hot Water Bottle Cozy out of two skeins of Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 8-ply.

This is what she had to say about it:

Choose something you really really love. - make sure its a heavier worsted-to-chunky rather than a lighter one - I find with hot water bottle covers that you want to knit them tight and dense, otherwise it might not insulate the bottle against your skin very well.


I love this thing because it’s such a ridiculous luxury - but because it’s only 200 yards you really can use something special.

Thanks for sharing, Juno!

Show and Tell: Just Enough Ruffles

Mindyo1 on Ravelry made a lovely Just Enough Ruffles with 4 skeins of Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 8-ply.

She sent us this note about it:

I knit it up for my shop, and also wear it as one of my favorite winter pieces to keep me warm and cozy. Nothing’s better than cashmere!

Thanks, Mindy! It looks wonderful.

Show and Tell: Cashmere Bandana Cowl

Karen (kbnature on Ravelry) knit a Cashmere Bandana Cowl (designed by The Purl Bee) from two skeins of Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 8-ply. 

This is what she had to say about it.

I think the short row tutorial that they’ve got on their website is particularly well done and helpful when making this pattern, unless a knitter is completely conversant working short rows….

You can find out a lot more about Karen on her blog.

Show and Tell: Cashmere Scarf for Him

Danni (Danniknitter on Ravelry) knit a gorgeous CashmereScarf for Him using 4 skeins of Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 8-ply. 

This is what she had to say about it.

I found the pattern to be simple and intuitive, with an elegant, reversible finished product. Combined with the amazing yarn, it was a very satisfying knit!
