Advice on seaming 100% cashmere yarn?

[fish_echo]

Sometimes I leap into things without thinking all the way through, without reading all the instructions, or without thinking ahead for all what the instructions might be...

Which is why I now have a patchwork blanket made with a variety of yarns to piece together, and I'm looking at the patches made with 100% cashmere yarn, wondering what to do next. I reclaimed the yarn from a jumper at a second hand store and the shoulder seams were reinforced with some non-cashmere yarn. Of course, it's not until now, when I've knit everything up, that I'm wondering if maybe that means that seaming is complicated when working with 100% cashmere yarn. (My original plan was to use blanket stitch on all the seams.)

So, does anyone have advice on what I should be doing with regards to seaming the 100% cashmere patches?

Cheers!

:) Blanket+pillow forts are awesome! :D

I do have enough cashmere blocks (+ unknit yarn) to make a lap throw, which was the backup if seaming was inadvisable. But I'd really rather incorporate them into this blanket -- I like how the variety of colour and texture works with the cashmere included. And I'm a little bit impatient and don't want to knit replacement blocks! ;P

Oh yes, knitting replacements when you already have lovely pieces finished would be soul-sucking kind of work. *nods*

I wish you the most luck, and hope you will post pictures here once you're finished. I'd love to see it. :)
