I've just received my order of cashmere yarn. It came with six reels of cashmere thread and I'm stumped as to what they're for. I can't think they're for sewing, could they be for joining whatever I eventually make?
Ps I'm not fabulously wealthy this came from the far east.  |

"Well someone’s doing alright for themselves 
What type of thread is it, sewing, crochet or embroidery. I’m guessing sewing.
Don’t worry about it, the supplies has just sent it out “just in case”. "
 . There are six 50g balls of yarn and six of the reels of thread. It cost less than £10  .
The yarn could be used for crochet or knitting and the thread...who knows. |

Ha! I think I'm going to make myself a gorgeous, soft and warm wrap. You'll have to make your own scarf and mittens.

Bargain! The thread could just be in case you need it later should you snag the wrap…… or mittens you knit. |

"I love cashmere, I have a cashmere blanket from Nepal for UK Winters, so good. I like pashmina too.
Are you sure thread isn’t silk or cotton? "
I love cashmere too. I don't think it's silk and it's definitely not cotton. I can't be sure though given its origin. It feels similar to my cashmere cardigan but I know there are some clever imitations |

I'm going to assume that's what it's for.
It was a bargain, my cashmere cardigan was too. It cost me £1 in a charity shop . I queried the price but they said it was correct |

"It's a stitch up
I have a vague memory of an elderly relative saying yarn was for machine knitting and thread was for finer/hand knitting.
This is definitely for hand work. "
Maybe the interweb has the answer,googleise it. |

There’s nothing wrong with finding bargains. One of my daughters (who has a really cool look) always buys second hand clothes or makes her own. She even made her dress for prom which I though was very brave for a 15 year old. |

I have a lovely photo of my great great grandmother sat on a bench outside the farmhouse knitting socks with four needles.The socks were sent out to France for the World War One soldiers for winter. |

That's quite a skill. I'm more crochet oriented, it's quicker than knitting and I'm impatient |

"You can't go wrong with cashmere for the winter, I've never had anything that keeps me as warm, got some great go to winter jumpers now .."
I agree. The main problem with cashmere is cleaning it and moth. The moths treat it as a delicacy round here  |

"Lacework, shawls etc
My finger is hovering over the button to order another 900grams.  I have 300g which I reckon will make a scarf or shawl. What do you think?"
Depends on the size and pattern, the pattern will tell you how much roughly if you’re winging it then see how far you get with what you’ve got! |

I'm winging it. Judging by eye I'd say there's enough for a wrap if I use a lace type pattern |
