Pretty Harlequin Ripple Silk Yarn

Spun silk roving is a lovely fiber which makes a lustrous yarn. With it, you can create soft fabrics with a soft sheen and and drape.
It is a bit slippery, and doesn't stretch like wool, so you may need to try different needles or hooks to find the one you like. I found wood or bamboo works best as it has some grab to hold onto the yarn, and use the next size up from what you would normally use compensated for the lack of stretch.
 
We now offer a new style with a wavy texture. It's the same spun silk, but with an extra thread that causes the silk fibers to crinkle up into a wavy texture. 
 
The weight is slightly heavier than a DK. There are about 210 yards in each skein.
 
Hand dyed using non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes and fixatives.
 
Hand wash finished piece with cold water and mild soap or shampoo. Lay flat to dry.
 
Price includes shipping.
