Silk Yarn
Using silk yarn is guaranteed to provide a touch of luxury to your next knitting or crochet project. Silk yarn is blended with other fibres such as mohair, alpaca or merino, to create a soft and glossy wool suitable for crafting a wide variety of garments.
Why choose silk knitting yarn?
- Luxurious look and feel makes this a great option for that special project
- Strong, lightweight and versatile
- Suitable for creating garments for year round use
- The ideal choice if those wearing the garment have sensitive skin
- Provides sheen, softness and strength all in one fibre
- Create knitwear that won't get too hot in warm weather
Silk mohair yarn
Mohair and silk yarn is very popular to hold alongside another strand of yarn. This make the finished garment extra cosy and gives it a fuzzy halo effect.
Alpaca silk yarn
Alpaca and silk yarn is a great choice for those who find mohair to be itchy or uncomfortable. An alpaca silk blend will give you the same warmth and halo effect as a mohair silk blend.
Cashmere and silk yarn
Cashmere silk yarn is perfect for extra soft and smooth luxury. The combination of soft cashmere and slippery silk creates a fabric with excellent drape and a high-quality sheen.
Merino and silk yarn
Merino silk yarn is perfect for luxury shawls or drapey jumpers. The silk complements the sheen of the merino and gives it less structure and more drape.
