This unique hand dyed blend of mink, brushed from the animal, merino and silk is a lovely well-rounded 3 ply yarn giving great stitch definition, with a slight bloom, and at the same time the delicate nature of a laceweight yarn. Hand dyed in batches of 4 skeins, enough for a large project. This yarn received the highest rating in the Spring 2012 Issue of Knitty.
