75 % Extrafine Superwash Merino 25% Mulberry Silk Yarn

DK weight,

A shimmering, soft and strong yarn produced from extrafine superwash merino with mulberry silk added for a natural lustre, added strength and more drape. Worsted spun from long staple fibres to produce a yarn with great stitch definition. The silk adds extra body to the yarn to hold stitches in shape on larger or lacey items. Creates items that shimmer in the light and have luxurious drape. Ideal for socks, shawls, scarves, gloves, jumpers and baby items. Can be used in its natural colour or dyed. Takes up the dye well to produce strong, vibrant colours that reflect the light.
