Peau de Soie silk yarn is a crisp, hand dyed silk yarn that any fiber lover will go gaga over. We've imported a beautiful silk kettle-dyed yarn in that is unlike most of the classic silk yarns. This silk yarn is soft yet crisp, with an almost linen-y feel. It has a wonderfully soft, not extreme luster, and the color depth is amazing. We call this a worsted roving because it has no twist, is not plied, and the slight thick and thin-ness throughout the strand adds to the visual interest of this yarn.

Since everything about this yarn, from the spinning to the skeining to the dying, is hand done, no two skeins are alike - though batches are consistent. Please order enough for your project - we'd hate for you not to have enough. This yarn is a worsted weight when knit, and works well from size 5's to size 10's - and we're testing it for more lacey-type patterns now.
