Silk Merino

The ideal introduction to luxury blends, this blend of 80% fine dyed Merino with 20% natural tussah silk is a real treat to spin. Both the merino and the silk in this blend are top-quality and a true delight to spin, producing an incredibly broad range of fabulous luxury yarns with a good combination of memory, stitch definition, drape, and a subtle sheen only silk can provide. The undyed fibre takes acid dyes beautifully and is extremely popular with independent dyers and handpainters. The natural color has a slightly creamy appearance.
