    • This stunning 100% Mulberry Silk yarn is spun at the foot of the Alps in Biella Italy. It is unbelievable soft, light and beautiful, with a fabulously unique texture. You absolutely have to experience this one!

      The secret formula is a mix of the highest quality of silk, innovation and technology.

      Knitting with this yarn feels so indulgent! It glides through your fingers. And being a Bulky/Chunky - your projects will be finished in no time!

      We think it's fabulous for sumptious sweaters, wraps, hats, cowls, mitts! Check out what other people are doing with this beautiful new yarn:
