I used this product to crochet a Slouch Beanie. It's very soft. The color of the yarn is true. It stretches really well once it's crocheted, but if it's on its own as a strand of yarn, it breaks and tangles easily.

Comments about Jade Sapphire Silk Cashmere:
Although this is a knitting yarn I actually used it for rigid heddle weaving. I was surprised to find that this yarn was incredibly fragile despite the fact that it consists mostly of silk. I've worked with cashmere and cashmere blends in the past, and I have to admit that I found this one a little harder to work with; whilst the end product is quite beautiful (particularly the colour!), I felt as though it didn't have the lustre or strength that I would expect from a yarn with so much silk. I would still recommend this yarn to a knitter friend, but I would prepare them for breakages.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery times were excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it arrived at my doorstep here in Australia. I will definitely be buying from Webs in the future.

Comments about Jade Sapphire Silk Cashmere:
The red was not particularly red. I returned it. Also, as you may know, silk/cashmere does not have the same fiber memory as a 100% cashmere yarn would.

I found a pattern that will take time to do. The yarn is great to work with, even though it isn't fast knitting.

Comments about Jade Sapphire Silk Cashmere:
Lovely yarn, but so difficult to wind into balls. I used my swift, and the skeins were a nightmare to sort out. I bought 4 skeins, used the swift for 2, and did the other 2 by hand. All were equally hard to wind. I must say, the finished products, were worth the effort.
