I love this ribbon yarn. I'm addicted... I just love the color and the texture

Each 100g skein has about 50 yards of silk pieces of fabric attached to each other. The silk strips are about .75 inches wide. There is some variance due to the way this yarn is created. It's created by the collection of silk remnants of clothing (mainly saris) in the truing and trimming of fabric during the manufacturing process. Then the strips are attached together to make this great yarn by sewing the ends together.

You'll note with this blend of silk sari ribbon, the edges are not finished and have a look like prayer flags that have been in the wind. That means it's soft and has a great rustic look to it.

You'll get a ton of variation in patterns, colors and textures!

There are brocade pieces of material in this yarn so if you have any kind of allergies to metal by example I would choose another yarn! But if you have no allergies, this yarn has such cool colors and textures even if you don't knit with it, you can use it on plenty of projects and even wrapping gifts and making jewelry.
