Silk and Silk Blends

Silk is the most luxurious of yarns with a magical shine and graceful drape.  
These yarns are lovely as a natural color but also take dyes well.  Use a protein fiber dye or a fiber reactive dye.
All yarns are sold in skeins and note that sizes vary per yarn.  Coned yarns are available in most cases for special order. Email if interested.
Blue squares indicate special order yarns, pink squares indicate yarns that are usually in stock--yarns not currently in stock take an average of 3 additional days to ship.
