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!

Re: No seaming isn't complicated with cashmere yarn

Well, it's going to a household with toddlers, so I rather assume that it'll occasionally get abused...

The other patches are wool or woolen blends (variously with alpaca/llama, silk, synthetic). I'll use one of the wool yarns for the actual seaming. I was planning on blanket-stitch, both for the edges and for the intra-blanket seamings.

So perhaps I ought to reinforce the seams around the cashmere blocks... /ponders
