About Symfonie Luna

Luna from Symfonie Yarns, made by KnitPro, is a DK of 75% superwash extrafine merino and 25% silk, with 199 yards (182 meters) in each 100 g skein.

Each skein is hand-dyed, and the silk adds a gentle shine and drape to the soft merino. The colors were inspired by India's precious gems, and the range here includes Rosewater, Blue Sapphire, Moonlight and Teal among others.

It suits knitters and crocheters who want a little shimmer in an accessory or a drapey shawl. At 199 yards per 100 g skein, it's a slightly heavier DK, so one or two skeins cover most cowls and small shawls.

Best for

  • Drapey shawls
  • Cowls with a soft shimmer
  • Statement accessories
  • Light, drapey garments

Working with it

The listing suggests US 4–6 (3.5–4 mm) needles or hooks for 20–24 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette to 4 inches. The silk content means the fabric drapes more than it springs, so wash and dry your swatch before measuring, and let a shawl relax fully before deciding on blocking. Hand-dyed skeins can vary slightly, so alternate skeins on larger projects.

Care

The listing says cool, gentle hand wash in wool detergent. Squeeze the water out in a towel and dry flat.
