I got 2 bags of yarn from Temu. It states on the website and on the bag that they were 60% silk, 30% wool and 10% cashmere. I have no way of proving it, but though it is extremely soft and silky, it does not block, so it may well be acrylic, though I know that silk doesn’t really block either.
I suspect its a sport wt, or a fine dk, so I used it for the clothes.
The lilac dress uses a lace trim done over 16 rows. A repeat of 11 st plus 4 edge st.

I added 2 more to this lot. They were made in August. The pale lilac dress was knit using the king cole baby lux bamboo mix , but I felt it would be a bit too boring to do the cardigan in the same yarn, so I used the same friends cotton 8 /4 that the shoes were made from and added a thread of kid silk from stash. The colour ended up very similar to the dress, but a different texture.
The pink dress had a cast on of 92 and I made it up as I went along. It was made from a dk mercerised cotton I got in Wexford.
