100% silk.

Such a dull factual description doe s not do this stunning yarn justice; what about:

100% Grade A Mulberry Silk threads, which, in case you didn’t know, are the best on Earth; they are smoother, stronger, and more uniformly coloured than any other variety of silk. A single silk fibre is stronger than a steel fibre of the same diameter. And as a silk yarn, it takes a dye really well - the shades are gloriously saturated and rich, with a beautiful depth of colour and tone.

This is true - you need scissors to break this yarn!

It is soft, smooth, lustrous, richly coloured, with a sheen that is second to none, and feels absolutely amazing next to the skin.

There are 400m per 100g skein, and many patterns use just this amount for a design, so you don’t have to spend too much to really spoil somebody with a knitted gift!

4 ply or fingering weight, recommend a cool handwash and dry flat.
