This is a beautiful 100% natural fiber yarn made from 70% fine grade merino wool and 30% Silk in a nice, tight 4-Ply. These characteristics show off the sheen as if the silk content was much higher, and adds durability and versatility to the yarn. You get the best of both worlds: the elasticity of wool along with the strength, durability and sheen of silk at a very affordable price.
Use for any garment that requires a fingering weight yarn; ideally suited for sock projects!
Dye your own creations using any acid (protein) dyeing process as this yarn will render beautiful results.
Ready-to-knit and enjoy.
