Combining the luster of silk, the strength of ramie and the elasticity of wool, this yarn is stiffer and cooler than pure wool yarns, which makes it perfect for spring or fall.

And because of the ramie in the yarn, when hand-dyed in the acid dye (which react only with the animal fibers), the color with slightly lighter then its pure animal fiber counterpart, making the color more elegant and refreshing to the eye.
