Malabrigo Silky Merino

This delightfully drapey yarn combines 50% silk and 50% merino into a single-ply DK yarn that is absolutely a treat to knit and a joy to wear. The combination is soft, smooth, and itch-free even on the most sensitive skin- absolutely wonderful for scarves and other next-to-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. This high silk content takes dye a little differently, adding extra depth to all the colors.
