Pom Pom Quarterly

Winter 2023 Issue 47 Pom Pom has always been a celebration of colour in knit and crochet form and this issue is no different. We love colour so much that often we try and get as much of it into each piece as we can, but for this monochrome-themed  issue we wanted to see what could be done with fabrics that used more subtle tonal differences within a single hue, or closely related ones.  In this issue, our designers played with depth, saturation, and brightness; maximum impact with minimum contrast. In addition to our makes we have an interview with Dana Williams-Johnson who answers our eager questions about her PhD dissertation that centres around knitting and representation of Black women in the...

What is Cashmere?

Cashmere is a wool fibre used for clothing and other textile articles, it is obtained from the neck region of Cashmere and other goats.  Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or underdown of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called guard hair. For the fine underdown to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After de-hairing, the resulting "cashmere" is ready to be dyed and converted into textile yarn, fabrics and garments. Cashmere is collected during the spring moulting season when the goats naturally shed their winter coat.  In some regions, the mixed mass of down and coarse hair...
