This is a trial run for this yarn. Kathryn Thomas of Fleece Artist/Hand Maiden called a while back to tell us that she had a small lot of 5-ply Casbah that she was wanting to test market. Needless to say, we jumped at the chance to share it with you! Casbah as a DK weight was almost too good to be true, but there it was. At present, what you see is all there is, but we're hoping that your response will change all that and make Casbah 5 a staple of Hand Maiden's collection.
Here is the perfect yarn for all those baby blankets and children's sweaters and more - the very items we want to be soft and natural, but also easy to clean. Here are some suggestions: if any of you want to add one of these patterns to your Casbah 5, just let us know.
