2/70 Silk Yarn

2/70 Silk YarnKeep 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

if you are using contrasting colors always test a woven or knitted sample using the same washing method you plan to use on the finished piece

this cotton cord will not split

such as Merinos

but is more thoroughly combed so it spins easily
