weight: 1 oz (28g) fibre: 100% silk length: 274.3m weight: lace / novelty suggested epi for weaving: 15-20 suggested needle size for knitting: 2.75-8mm
A beautiful textured silk, made by painstakingly collecting the naturally gummy silk cocoon ends.
It has a starchy feel, full body, since there is still sericin on the surface of the yarn. It will become extremely soft and fuzzy if degummed. Great as a warp or weft yarn.
