You can eat it, or you can wear it. We do both. It's especially enticing to eat chocolate while wearing something made out of this color. Careful, you might get bitten!
100% Hand Dyed Silk
Gauge: 4 st per inch/#7 but works wonderfully with size 5 to size 10. Great for openwork lace knitting, too!
Peau de Soie silk yarn is a crisp, hand dyed silk yarn that any fiber lover will go gaga over. We've imported a beautiful silk yarn, and then kettle-dyed it by hand, a few skeins at a time. The yarn is soft yet crisp, with almost a linen-y fabric texture, hence the name. It has a wonderfully soft, not extreme luster, and the color ebbs and flows in strength & depth throughout the skein. With slight thick and thin-ness throught the strand, the visual interest of this yarn is wonderful - and this yarn simply sparkles.
Since everything about this yarn, from the spinning to the skeining to the dying, is hand done, no two skeins are alike - though batches are consistent. Please order enough for your project - we'd hate for you not to have enough. This yarn is a worsted weight when knit, and works well from size 5's to size 8's - and we're testing it for more lacey-type patterns now.
