This delightfully drapey yarn combines 50% silk and 50% merino into a single-ply DK yarn that is absolutely a treat to knit and a joy to wear. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin- absolutely wonderful for scarves and other next-to-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. This high silk content takes dye a little differently, adding extra depth to all the colors.
*Multiple skeins may be photographed to show the variation in skeins, but the price is for one skein.
Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
