HKA 8695 Queen

HKA 8695 Queen by Hasegawa, 34% Cashmere, 60% royal baby Alpaca, 6% Nylon, 1000 meter/100gram. Brushed construction. Hasegawa approaches yarn development with a focus on engineered structure, and this brushed blend reflects that precision in how the halo is created and supported. The brushing adds an airy, soft surface while the nylon core ensures stability and strength without adding weight. The combination of cashmere and Royal Baby Alpaca creates warmth and softness with a light, comfortable handle, while still remaining fine enough for versatile use. At 1000 m per 100 g, this yarn is extremely flexible in application: it can be used on its own for very light, airy fabrics, held double or multiple strands for more volume, or combined with other yarns to add softness and texture. Needle size depends entirely on how the yarn is used—solo, held double, or paired with other fibers—and the desired fabric density; swatching is essential to determine the right gauge and structure for each project. This yarn also works as an alternative to brushed mohair for those who find mohair too “ticklish” on the skin, while still offering a similar airy halo and light fuzzy effect. A true multi-use brushed yarn where construction, not just fiber content, defines the result.
