It’s an incredibly soft and slightly fluffy single ply mulberry silk with a subtle halo. It has a gorgeous sheen and a wonderful stitch definition.

How to wind the yarn:
This yarn behaves very slippery during winding. If you use a winder, we recommend to wind it extremely (!) slowly to avoid slipping off of the strand of yarn to the top or bottom of the growing ball.
Please use the yarn from the outside of your ball. Don’t use it as a center pull ball.

Tips for working with this yarn:
Pure silk, especially Mulberry silk, takes some getting used to. But it’s definitely worth the effort. For slippery yarns like pure Mulberry silk we recommend to use wood or carbon needles.
For this particular yarn type we recommend to use a plastic bag on your lap to avoid extensive friction between pants and WIP.
