Soft & Silky is a medium-weight yarn that is ideal for projects that require softness, warmth and drape, such as sweaters, cardigans and shawls. It is made from fine merino sheep’s wool and mulberry silk, making it very soft to the touch and giving it a silky sheen. The yarn is also superwash treated and therefore easy to care for.

These skeins are hand-dyed in the colorway Lilac, a beautiful, semi-solid pale purple perfect for elegant and light garments.

Merino Sheep's Wool

Wool is a natural protein fiber that is sheared from sheep of over 200 different breeds worldwide. It is naturally crimped with a lofty hand and has been used for its warmth for 10,000 years. Merino sheep, with their particularly fine and light-colored coat, were introduced to Australia in 1797, where the best Merinos are still bred today.

Mulberry Silk

Silk is a very special natural fiber that is obtained from the unwound cocoon of the silk moth. Often referred to as "the queen of fabrics", it is the only natural filament fiber and has been used for luxurious fabrics for over 5000 years.
