Default Cashmere yarn on knitting machines

Has anyone used cashmere yarn on a knitting machine? Any tips or
tricks to it? I'm thinking about Christmas gifts. Thank you!

I was told to use a light silicone spray on the yarn to help it slip and cut down the fuzzies. I have no personal experience haven't gotten that far in my experimentation yet. lol

Hi Kare,
I have once, but only for a sample swatch....never got around to
knitting up the sweater yet. I admit to not being a regular knitter.
I bought several cones of cashmere in England and saw georgeous
sweaters knit up on knitting machines. So I got the pattern they used
and the cones of yarn for very inexpensive. Mine is still in oil so
very easy to work with and then washed up the sample and ever so
soft!!! That's been several years ago so I better get to it now
that you remind me!!.
