This yarn has a high twist and is so shiny – it’s gorgeous! The base has a bright white colour and looks very appealing in the skein. It sucks up the dye really well and colours appear bright and clear. Speckles work well on this yarn. Please see our notes on dyeing silk. The fabric knitted with this yarn is light and shiny with a lovely drape. We have used 3.25mm needles, but 3mm would also work. Super soft, this yarn is perfect for accessories and sweaters.
