Pure Silk | Cornflower

This yarn feels smooth and cool to the touch, a very different experience compared to most handknitting yarns made from wool. Mulberry silk is a very good insulator and quickly absorbs/releases moisture, making it easy to wear from autumn through winter to spring. Use the Pure Silk yarn if you want to change up your knitting with a new texture and/or if you need something drapy but not too thin.

Working with silk can seem like an exclusive choice, but since it tends to grow 20% in length and 10% in width after wet blocking, you will need less yarn to complete your project. I recommend making a big swatch before you start your project and let it hang a while to equilibrate.

All my yarns are rinsed with a mild detergent before hung to dry naturally. But the darker colors may show some bleeding in the first wash. So I would recommend to hand wash them separately the first time.
