Je veux vous dire que j’aime beaucoup le service que vous nous donner. Merci
I picked it for making Ellen's Playset solely for the color. If you are planning on this same pattern, keep in mind that this yarn is sport rather than fingering. For 18-24mo I used the instructions for 0-2mo from the pattern, and the measurements turned out almost perfect (so follow the smallest size instructions to get the biggest one). I was hoping cashmere would be softening the cotton, but it only did so slightly. The yarn splits easily and is sort of drying to the hands. The end result is more rustic than I expected, washing and blocking didn't do much. Overall, I'd suggest you approach this as a regular cotton and don't get high hopes for the cashmere in the contents. It'll be fine as it's a summer garment, but I wouldn't use it again
