Titus 4ply is a lovely, luxurious blend of superwash merino and mulberry silk. The silk gives it a gorgeous shine as well as strength. It is ideal for all sorts of projects, from shawls to garments and everything in between. It washes well in the machine, and because silk gives it strength it can take a lot of use - it’s great for socks if you are unsure about pure wool yarns being hard wearing enough (just watch your tension so you don’t get drapey socks!).

Machine washable.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

As with all hand dyed yarns, I would strongly advise that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it’s a one-skein project).
