More Details
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 tight spin on these skeins, and the fibre colours overlap at about 3cm distances, which creates bands of double-colour all down the yarn. This is a smooth 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 5mm – 7mm. 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.
