Cashmere
thrives with love and care. Just like a baby! And such a
lovely thought...as I had always thought cashmere was a fragile difficult fibre.
I have been
incredibly spoilt. I didn’t own a piece of cashmere until I worked at egg, my
last place of employment. I always
thought before egg, it was a fibre/material that should be looked at and not
touched, or kept in your wardrobe for special occasions. Only that occasion
never arouse so it would sit there and never be worn. Or was simply worn by rich ladies as twin sets with pearls. How
wrong was I!!
Whilst working
at egg I was given an a few amazing cashmere pieces. One that I will always
treasure is a navy blue sweater by Sine of Yarmood that I wear as I type. To simple describe it …it
feels like home.
I have worked
with Sine for many years and have grown to love her pieces slowly over time. Not because they weren't beautiful but because I was always a little scared of the peices. I was at first too frightened to wear a piece of her gorgeous cashmere.
I now am never out of my lovely jumper! Once had had a peice on it was never coming off! It’s perfect for sleeping in as it’s
super soft and breathable. It has no ego and simply is what it is. Beautiful
and sublime.

Sine is a master
of her craft. After the birth of her twin
daughters, Francesca and Sicily, many moons ago, Sine set to work teaching
herself how to machine knit after being unsatisfied with the cashmere baby products
available. She knitted simple pieces to ensure ease when dressing her twins and
items that can be easily worn by both little boys and girls.
Sine’s mathematical approach to knitting means that each piece
must work out and balance proportionally to be able to pass the Sine test
aesthetically. If the sums do not work out or feel unbalanced a whole piece is
changed to “balance” the mathematics behind it!

The result is an understated, unpretentious, precious pieces that
can be treasured for life. Cashmere is one of the few materials that grow
softer and more beautiful with age.
The Yarmood cashmere pieces when worn give warmth and protection. Perfect
for our little ones.

We’ve been lucky
enough to have Yarmood join our family of makers. And even luckier now that we
have Yarmood baby versions of my lovely jumper.
Samson is especially lucky to have a little jumper of his own to match Mummies! We have Jumpers that will be worn with love, we'll love wearing, they'll protect us from the cold and last forever and ever. Mummy just needs to make sure she puts them on the right temperature in the washing machine!
Simply
beautiful!
