Due to the current complexities with importing silk and silk-blend yarns, and because of the worldwide coronavirus, what I have in stock here is all that I have to offer for the immediate future. (These yarns were imported prior to the pandemic and have been kept in a sealed environment.)
Note: Prices are subject to change without notice. As new stock is eventually purchased, the prices will undoubtably increase. Price increases will apply to special orders.Silk Blend Yarns

“Lotus”
Merino, Yak, & Cultivated Silk Yarn
SH-0006
60% Superwash Merino Wool/20% Yak/20% Cultivated Silk
One skein is enough for a pair of women's medium size lace socks. This 3-ply Italian yarn is a beautiful soft natural grey. Due to the well-spun ply, the shorter yak fibers do NOT have a tendency to bloom out of the yarn. Very soft and drapes well. When dyeing, the combination of superwash merino wool, yak, and silk produce spectacular colors. (Origin: Italy)
Weaving: May be used for warp or weft.
