About Schoppel Cashmere Zauber

Cashmere Zauber from Schoppel blends 80% virgin wool, from Patagonia, with 20% Mongolian cashmere. Each 50 g cake holds 153 yards (140 meters), and the catalog lists it as sport weight.

Like the Zauberball, it's dyed in long colorways that shift gradually along the yarn, so the color changes build as you knit. Schoppel notes that not every color shown will appear in every cake, so each one is a little different. There are five colorways, including Zone Aquatique, Shadows and Lilac Scent.

It's for knitters and crocheters who want soft, color-changing accessories with a touch of cashmere.

Best for

  • Gradient scarves and cowls
  • Soft hats and mitts
  • Sweaters with long color shifts
  • Home accessories

Working with it

Schoppel suggests US 4–7 (3.5–4.5 mm) needles for 20 stitches and 26 rows in stockinette to 4 inches. Each pack holds one cake. For a larger project needing several cakes, plan where you'll join each one, since the colors at the start and end of each cake won't necessarily match. Wider rows stretch the color bands out; narrower ones make them shorter.

Care

Schoppel lists hand or machine wash up to 30°C (86°F) on a wool cycle, with wool detergent and no softener. Dry flat.
