You hold your breath. Is the masked prince really coming your way? Does he know who you are? Draped in a silk and sumptuous wool gown and hidden behind your ornate mask, he must have mistaken you for some kind of princess. But wait, then you remember. You ARE some kind of princess — you must be to have so much silk.

Of course, you can’t just walk around in a ball gown and masquerade mask all day. For all the moments in between, you can feed your royal side with Masquerade yarn. Luxuriously blended from extra soft Bluefaced Leicester and 20% silk, this yarn knits up into gorgeous drapey shawls and extravagant socks. Our colors were designed with multi color projects in mind, and specially created to compliment one another for all of your knitting needs.

Please note that sometimes colors and textures look different on your computer screen than they do in person. If we had the power to fix this, we’d probably be billionaires. And we’d totally still make yarn.

80% Bluefaced Leicester/ 20% Silk

Care:
Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not agitate. Let soak for 10 minutes then rinse in the same temperature water as used in wash. Some color transfer to wash water is normal with hand-dyed yarns and garments. We work very hard to ensure that our hand-dyed yarns do NOT bleed, however, occasionally it will happen. For this reason, extra precautions (such as rinsing prior to knitting) are not unreasonable when darker colors will be with lighter colors in the finished object. Drain and gently squeeze garment to remove excess water. Dry flat and re-block as needed.
