This is a very special single ply yarn made of 70% superwash merino & 30% silk. It feels softer than any yarn I’ve felt before, and owing to the silk, displays color with a brilliance and translucence that’s spectacular.

The intensity & luminescence of color are incomparable. This is a yarn with the most extraordinary hand and the eye appeal of a candy store to a child. The uncomplicated high-twist single is strong as it is soft and sleek; it glistens in a way that’s reminiscent of sunlight on the snow.
