A light worsted weight yarn that will yield about 4.5 sts per inch on size 5's. Dry clean, hand wash or delicate cold cycle. If you would like to soften it up more you can throw it in the dryer on a low setting. There are no dye lots but I do separate by hues and hand pick and match the balls all by my hand.

This recycled silk sari yarn is handspun in women's co-ops and act as income supplements to farming families in non-growing season in Nepal and India and made from remnants of new silk. So, not only are you getting an incredibly unique yarn, you're creating jobs for others.

Sure, some of the yarn is a little uneven at times but remember, this isn't spun up by machines in plants but in distant villages which give jobs to women who are paid fair wages and there is no child labor used.
