This super silky yarn is divine, it has a lovely white base due to the silk content. It sucks up the dye and speckles well. The resulting fabric is soft and shiny with a gorgeous drape. Due to the silk content of this yarn, you may need to soak it for a little longer before dyeing to make sure the fibres get really saturated. Warm water speeds up this process.

This is suitable for luxury shawls, accessories, and sweaters.
