1 oz (28 gram skein) of Hand Spun Merino / Silk 85/15 blend yarn, custom handspun to order in 25 Colour Blends and your choice of 5 yarn weights.

I really LOVE this yarn. It is my personal favorite both to spin and knit with. It feels just heavenly going through your hands while working with it and is such a pleasure to wear. It is buttery soft and excellent for next to the skin projects such as tops, scarves, baby sweaters and baby blankets.

The Gaywool Dyed fiber I use for this yarn is a 85/15 merino/silk blend in a lovely blend of Tussah Silk and multiple colors of 22 micron Merino wool. It is hand spun in 2 ply.
