My niece is pregnant.

I'm looking to knit a christening blanket but I want to do it in cashmere. But I haven't been able to find cashmere in white and fingering weight. Anybody have some suggestions as to where to look?

1. I Google searched

There's an auction ending June 5th for 800 yards of it. 100% good feedback for the seller.

Looks like they also have this on a Buy It Now deal, too, if you feel comfortable buying on eBay

2. I had looked at those.

But both are now bid on. I buy on ebay but I need to be able to decide my own quantities. Thanks.

However, I hadn't seen the Sarah's yarns. I didn't want cashmere and other wool, but cashmere and silk I can live with.

3. Also, seems like some whites are "natural" white

So I wondered about if they tended to be to cream.

Good luck!

4. I just ordered the cashmere/silk

$180.00 worth. The pattern I have is a shetland lace with 3 borders. Takes about 5400 yards of yarn. Good thing the baby's not due till November.

5. You're knitting an heirloom

It's going to be so lovely!

7. C-c, it's an intricate pattern

How lovely. The little grouping of the four fan shapes is so sweet.

With your talent, you should meet the due date goal!
