About this product
The name says it all: CLASSIC SILK is a traditional 3-ply twist of fine silk. The twist gives the yarn a more rounded cross-section, which means that filigree lace patterns, precise textures and impressive cables all work beautifully. The addition of 30 % merino wool to the composition makes it easier to handle than pure silk.
This versatile quality combines timeless elegance with strength, making it the perfect choice for fine handicrafts with intricate details, that will give you pleasure for a long time.
