Winding and knitting: We recommend winding the silk by hand, as it is very "alive" and can easily tangle. We also recommend alternating between the skeins while knitting to avoid pooling and to achieve a more even appearance in your knitting, since the silk absorbs dye quite differently.

Our silk is 100% Mulberry Silk and among the best on the market. It is knitted on needles 3 - 4. Wooden needles are recommended as silk can be slippery to work with. The silk is classified in AKW scale A, which means it is suitable for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. It is a product we mainly stock in spring and summer, so it’s important to purchase enough for your project. It is perfect for summer sweaters, summer tops and shawls.
