Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Cashmere blooms after washing; sizing up needles by approximately 0.5 mm helps enhance softness and drape and may slightly reduce total yardage. The eyelash construction affects drape and gauge significantly, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
