Silk yarn's natural luster is brought out anew with each washing. It is the strongest of all the natural fibers by weight, and its ability to "breathe"; in clothing fabric - to keep you warm when it's cold, cool when it's warm - is unrivaled.

Description

Keep in mind when using silk that it has almost no elasticity and minimal shrinkage. It will not full or "bloom" in finishing. In weaving, your warp sett should reflect this and be closer than for wool. Blend with worsted wools, such as Merinos. In knitting the luster is lovely, but the inelasticity can be a challenge. To control the trait, choose textured stitches, and patterns which feature hems, picot or crocheted edges rather than ribs. Natural silks are ideal for dyeing with Country Classic or Wash-fast Acid Dyes.

Colors

Close-up of a textured surface displaying a pattern of small white fibers or threads, reminiscent of finely woven 2/30 Natural Silk Yarn. The fibers create a slightly rippled effect, suggesting a fabric or textile material. The overall color is light with subtle variations in shading, characteristic of Henry's Attic quality.
