As the name suggests, Merino Silk is spun from soft, extra-fine Merino wool and lustrous mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is the absolute best and finest silk available, and the combination with extra-fine Merino wool makes Merino Silk a truly wonderful yarn. The high percentage of mulberry silk gives the yarn its beautiful luster and provides added durability. The silk also gives the yarn a natural drape and a beautiful drape for your knitwear, while the Merino wool provides extra softness and a slightly woolly appearance.
A palette of warm golds and delicate blues is a gorgeous choice for this spectacular yarn, which is shot through with metallic thread. Airy mohair and soft Merino wool are paired with nylon and polyester to create a blend that's comfortable to wear right next to the skin. Patina knits up to a classic DK tension, but has twice the meterage you'd expect from a yarn of this weight. This is a limited edition yarn.
