Silky Merino Dk

This delightfully drapey favorite 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 garments, scarves, and other next-to-your-skin items. The silk content gives the yarn a bit more weight and drape than a pure merino, and a slight sheen that is absolutely gorgeous. The fibers take dye a little differently, adding extra depth to the wide selection of semi-solid, variegated, and watercolor-multi colorways available. Great for:  Accessories, shawls, garments, cables, colorwork, textured stitches, lace. Content:  51% Silk 49% Merino Wool, hand wash, dry flat Gauge:  22-24 sts = 4"  on US 4-6 needles Yardage:  150 yds / 137m Weight:  DK
