What kind of construction does '1-ply 14-gauge' mean in the cashmere knit description?
Because the knitting specifications of 1-ply and 14-gauge written in the product description are unfamiliar, making one curious about what kind of thickness and texture it produces when actually worn.
It is a specification densely knitted using a single strand of yarn with fourteen needles per inch, yielding a thickness that is thin and lightweight yet with an even texture.
1-ply means a single strand of yarn, and gauge refers to the number of needles that fit into a 1inch width of a knitting machine. The higher the gauge number, the finer the needles used to knit a thinner, denser knit fabric.
AMOMENTO uses fine cashmere, a thin yarn with an average fiber thickness reaching 15.2–15.8 microns[1]. A single strand of this thin yarn (1-ply) is densely knitted at a 14-gauge density[2][3]. Rather than thickly twisting or bulking up the yarn, it is a method of neatly refining the surface by interweaving it densely. As a result, it is not bulky but thin, completing a lightweight thickness that can be worn without seasonal boundaries, not just in midwinter[4].
hmmm, it is a choice refined so that cashmere does not remain as thick winterwear, but can be worn lightly layered across seasons.
The exact finished product weight of each item knitted to the 1-ply 14-gauge specification has not yet been confirmed.
