I told you I listen to you when you write. Jared (a fellow Darn Good Yarn-er) provided this awesome name for this yarn. Isn't it just perfect?!
100% Silk Handspun yarn. This yarn is the bomb! I'm serious, it doesn't get any better. Go to the temple and see. The silk breaks in softly over time and has a beautiful sheen and uniqueness.
Each skein is 100g/90yards of new recycled silk sari remnants. The new remnants are collected during the manufacturing process of saris. This yarn in particular is painstakingly sorted through prior to spinning to get that same color combination through the whole skein.

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.
Make a difference and rethink your crafting experiences. 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.
Because it's handspun the colors in Golden Temple range from gold to orange with other tones mixed in. The choice is yours! Click through the photos and be sure to order enough. If you need to return any yarn in it's unused state you can!
