This yarn is gorgeous, it is smooth, soft, and shiny, with a whiter base colour than the wool yarns due to the silk content, colours appear super bright and clear. The yarn sucks up the dye and speckles so well. Most dye techniques work well on this yarn, and the depth of colours that can be achieved is wonderful.

The resulting fabric is shiny and soft with a lovely stitch definition and drape. This would be wonderful for accessories and sweaters.
