Silkie: Socks That Rock ® Mermaid

€37.50

Silkie: Socks that Rock® takes a journey down the Silk Road. In this yarn, you will find the same ultra fine merino that is used in STR, with the addition of bombyx silk.  Cultivated Bombyx Silk made by the Bombyx Mori by eating and processing the oh so yummy Mulberry (Morus Alba). So yes, Cultivated Silk, Mulberry Silk and Bombyx all the same just different names taken from the parts of the process.
Silkie is a 3-ply yarn and one of the plies consists of a blend of silk and merino. Because of this, it takes the dye a little lighter than the other two plies, which creates a heathered effect when knit. Although it is superwash, we recommend handwashing this yarn. Silkie is luxurious and certainly not just a sock yarn!
