Silk yarn

Silk adds strength, luster and drape. On its own it's cool and fluid; blended with mohair, merino or cashmere it brings a glow to the color and holds the softer fibers together.

Feel
Smooth and lustrous, with fluid drape
Warmth
Light warmth; cool in summer, warm in blends
Care
Hand wash cool and dry flat. It has little memory, so block it to size
Best for
Shawls, drapey tops and luminous blends

How the shop works. We don't sell anything ourselves. Every product links to the shop that sells it, and we earn a commission on purchases through those links, at no extra cost to you. It's how the calculators stay free.
