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.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Pure silk is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
