Why Choose Recycled Cashmere?

Cashmere is one of the world's finest natural fibres - up to eight times warmer than wool, naturally hypoallergenic, and soft enough for even the most sensitive skin.

We responsibly source pre-loved cashmere jumpers from across the UK, carefully sorting, washing and transforming each one into something new. Real cashmere, recycled with purpose - and because cashmere only improves with age, growing softer with every wear, the material we work with has already stood the test of time.

As each product is crafted from individually sourced cashmere, colours will vary slightly between pieces. This is what makes every Turtle Doves purchase genuinely one of a kind.

Made a sweater for myself in the Blackthorn Berrii and it knitted up well, fits well and I am delighted with it. I have not needed to wash it yet so can't comment on whether it shrinks or stretches. I bought the yarn on sale so it was good value and I am considering buying more in Scots Pine.

I bought the yarn when it was on sale and have knitted a jumper for myself. It knits up beautifully and has washed well. It feels good to wear and not scratchy. In fact it has a softness to it. I will probably buy some more later in the year.

I knitted up a jumper for my daughter. The yarn is pretty harsh to work with as scratchy. It softens on repeat washing, but the garment also stretches. My advice: use a smaller needle to knit up with tighter tension than you think you need. I bought this as a special offer, so the price was ok. Debating to try again for a cardigan as I note some colours now 50% off.

I made a jumper for my husband out of this yarn, enticed by its eco credentials. Unfortunately, he doesn't wear it much, as it's too scratchy around his neck (he's not ultra sensitive either). It's put me off purchasing 100% recycled yarn. Nice idea, but I wouldn't buy again

Such a lovely yarn at great value. 44% cashmere mixed with Merino is gorgeously soft but durable too. A lighter DK, but works well with a 3.5-5mm needle. Yarn is in Ravelry now too!

Was a little disappointed at first, the yarn is not as soft as I expected. It feels quite rough and bulky. However once knitted up it actually feels lovely. I got a pair of fingerless gloves from one ball.
