This luxury base of merino and silk (mulberry) has beautiful drape and shine, with excellent stitch definition.

This is a very soft yarn, most people compare it to cashmere and it is due to the superfine (16.5 microns) Merino wool blended with the mulberry silk.

Hand wash in cool water with gentle detergent, and lay your items flat to dry for best results, despite manufacture’s confirmation that this is superwash.
