WHAT CAN I MAKE?

Recycled silk yarn is an easy yarn to work with and beginner friendly! It has a dry handle that feels comfy and slightly warm on the skin. It is naturally hypoallergenic and much like wool, is breathable and has temperature regulating qualities to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter - making it a year round yarn! you could make anything from next to skin garments to layering pieces to keep you warm as the nights get cooler.

Works well with… 
EVERYTHING! She's the all rounder, she can handle anything you throw at her!

HOW THICK IS THIS YARN?

Our yarn thickness is measured using the NM count, the industry standard in the textile world. This differs from ply, which is commonly used for hand knitting yarns. To help you visualize the yarn's thickness, we've compared it to everyday items.

This yarn is similar thickness to waxed dental floss, but obviously much nicer!

  • What's the difference between hand and machine knit yarn?

    Machine knit yarn is coned yarn for even tension and has more strength than hand knit yarn. You can use both interchangeably but the biggest difference would be the stretch and strength machine knitting yarn has.
