Spun Silk Roving
Spun silk roving is a lovely fiber which makes a lustrous yarn. With it, you can create soft fabrics with a soft sheen and and drape.
We now offer a new yarn. It's the same spun silk roving but with an extra thread twisted into the yarn to give it a wavy texture. It has the same soft luster as the smooth yarn, same yardage, weight, and same price.
Use it for your next knitting or crocheting project. It is a bit slippery, and doesn't stretch like wool, so you may need to try different needles or hooks to find the one you like. I found wood or bamboo works best, and the next size up from what I would normally use compensated for the lack of stretch.
The weight is approximate to a DK. There is approximately 225-250 yards in each skein.
Hand dyed using non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes and fixatives.
Hand wash finished piece with cold water and mild soap or shampoo. Lay flat to dry.
Price includes shipping.
