Despite the name, this is a worsted weight yarn – slightly thicker than a DK. This is an exquisite blend of Bluefaced Leicester, silk and cashmere. The yarn sucks up the dye, the colours are bright and clear and speckling works well on this yarn as do glazing techniques. The resulting knitted fabric is soft and velvety, with a little shine and a delicate halo. The stitch definition is neat and the fabric blocks out beautifully. Our standard skeins for this undyed yarn are 115g.
