Quality: 100% Mulberry Silk
Yarn length: 100g/ 400m
Recommended needle size: 3 - 4
Gauge: 24 - 26m/ 10 cm
Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water - dry flat
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 hanks when you knit to avoid pooling and to achieve a more even look in your knitting, since silk accepts dye very differently.
AKW scale: A
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 knit with. The silk is in AKW scale A, which means it is suitable for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. This is an item we mainly stock in spring and summer, so it is important that you buy to ensure you have enough for your project. It is perfect for summer sweaters, summer tops and shawls.
We work extensively with image editing of our products and do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors can vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
