This is beautifully shiny, soft and minimally processed merino/silk blended yarn. Excellent for socks or other garments that needs that extra strength and durability from the silk.

The Merino comes from South Africa and is from muelesing free sheep. The silk is tussah silk. Handdyed in the north of Norway by Nina. Dyed using low impact acid dyes, with great care taken to use as little water and dye as possible.

Handwash in cold water.
