Rich and shiny, this yarn sucks up the dye to create really strong, intense hues. Layering colours works really well. Speckles can also be achieved with prominent striking. The silk content makes this yarn very white in its base colour, which can be a preference for wedding or Christening shawls. The knitted fabric has a buoyant texture and high shine. This yarn would be lovely for thicker shawls and summer layering garments and makes a nice woven fabric. Please see our notes on dyeing silk.
