Pure Silk from Knitting for Olive is exactly what it says: 100% silk in a fingering weight with the drape, sheen, and cool smoothness the fibre is known for. Silk has no elasticity, so it's best suited to patterns designed for inelastic fibres: flowing garments, shawls, and accessories where drape is an asset rather than a challenge. The colour range is extensive and the dye takes beautifully on silk, producing rich, luminous tones. Handle with care: silk is strong but benefits from gentle hand washing. A yarn for projects you'll treasure.
