Description

This blend of spun mulberry silk and linen is soft but draping, has a beautiful halo, and will provide support when used in wraps. This will weave up to produce textiles that will break in beautifully and with proper care, only improve with age. This yarn comes in a convenient 600g cone, an approximate quantity suitable for weft in an average sized wrap.

This yarn is 16/2nm, equivalent to just over 9/2ne in the cotton count system. It is suitable for use with acid or fibre reactive dyes such as procion MX depending on the desired effect, available at many suppliers. For the knitters, this will knit at about a laceweight.
