100g Recycled Sari Silk Skeins - Loose spun
100% Silk – Somewhere between heavy Aran/ light Chunky Weight. Between 80-90m/100g
Mint Fabric's Recycled Sari Silk yarn is lustrous and buttery. It is handspun in India and manufactured from long length fibres. This ensures a smooth finish and a non splitting yarn.
There is loose spin on these skeins, and the fibre colours overlap at about 2m distances, which creates very seperate colour blocks all down the yarn, which tend to stripe when knit. This is a very fluffy yarn.
The vibrant colors and unique texture of these silk yarns are inspirational to designers, knitters, and artisans.
Suggested needle size: As the skeins are variable, I'd sugest from 7mm - 10mm. YMMV
Each skein in unique in its random jewel-like colours, however, they all have one predominant colour. Therefore, please note on your order from what colour family you would like your skein(s) choosen.
Note that I hold a quanitity in stock, but I don't have anything in the colour you want, or if you want it quick or need more skeins of a particular colour than I have the yarn will then come to you direct from the mill. The transit time for delivery to the UK is 10-12 working days. Shipping is already included in the above price.
Please note that when they arrive, these yarns smell of "India" - Patchouli, spice and musty humidity. This smell fades over time in your stash, (I must admit, I rather like it, but it is not to everyone's taste!) They also benefit from a "wash and set" before use, as this will fluff and relax the fibres. After-care of your garments is Hand washing in cool water and dry flat. You can also get them hand dry cleaned
