Pinta from Pascuali is an unusual and rewarding blend: extrafine merino for softness and elasticity, mulberry silk for sheen and drape, and ramie for structure and a natural crispness that keeps the fabric from going limp. The result is a yarn with genuine versatility: soft enough for next-to-skin wear, drapey enough for shawls, and structured enough for socks and garments that need to hold their shape. The sheen from the silk gives finished fabric a quality look that suits more refined projects. Not superwash treated; hand wash and dry flat.
