A beautiful concoction of Neve in Prime and Small, my second grandchild’s home from hospital cardigan (waiting patiently!) Knitted Home, yet again, thank you for supplying this beautiful yarn courtesy of Cardiff Cashmere, just incredible and I’ve loved mixing up this duo for a spectacular result!
Cardiff cashmere Prime is my goto yarn instead of buying Mohair or any other lace yarn. So many beautiful colours and so soft.
Great service and beautiful yarn
Deep scarlet colour and so lovely to knit with in a double strand.
Beautiful olive colour and a dream to knit with in a double strand.
Beautiful pale pink colour and a dream to knit with. I’ve used a double strand in this photo.
The prettiest shade of brown (cacao)! Holding 2 strands together to make the Arches Blouse by Odd Row. As always, wonderful packaging and quick shipping from London over to Charlotte, NC, USA :)

Fantastic service from Knitted Home as ever.
The most gorgeous soft colour. Arrived very quickly.
The yarn is so soft and beautiful! The color way "Marilyn" is vibrant. Everything about this yarn is just luscious! I am impressed with the speed of shipping to the US. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to order from you again. xo

Gorgeous yarn! I love to hold it with a fingering weight yarn for my knitting projects. It does seem pricey, at £15 for a 25g of 300m, however, when I compare it to the price of hand-dyed lace weight yarn (usually 50g/400m £22), it works out cheaper for projects requiring 800m+ (eg 1200m of Cardiff Cashmere Prime costs £60 and 1200m of hand dyed lace yarn costs £66!) Great service from this shop, as usual! The seller is quick to reply to any queries and orders are sent out by the next day with tracked delivery!
Love love love this yarn!! So soft and great color selection!
Alas not in action yet as im just finishing of a spring project. What i can say is that it arrived quickly and so efficiently from Knitted Home which is one of the best. Im itching to get my hands on this sublime yarn. The colour is stunning and the feeling is a sensory delight. So happy with the colour choice and so appreciative to Knitted home whose opinion on what sort of blue it was which was 💯 what i was looking for. There’s really no place better to find the greatest range and the highest quality of cashmere yarn. Smiles……. An update as I finely worked up a swatch. Love everything about this yarn. The texture, the look and colour, the stitch definition but unfortunately once knitted the colour doesn’t love me so I’m planning to try a different colour that better suits my pale freckled skin. But it’s stunning and worthy of a 5* review
Perfect
👍👍💯
I love Cardiff Cashmere Prime. I just adore it. A good alternative to mohair. I also love the quick service of KnittedHome.com.
This yarn is so soft and the shade is gorgeous!
So so soft and such a pretty colour!
Dreamy to work with and blooms when blocked
I adore this yarn and this is my favourite place to shop for it - fast postage and 5 star customer service! This pink colour is truly beautiful and I have purchased enough to knit two garments! I love pink!
This is only my second order from Knitted Home, but like the first it was very speedy and I am very pleased with the quality of the yarn. I will be back and would recommend Knitted Home to friends!
