The Comics: Recycled Himalaya Sari Silk Yarn

$10.75 Sold Out


BUY 5 SKEINS GET #6 FREE!

I love reading the comics (Calvin and Hobbes are my fav!). So, when I saw this yarn I immediately thought of the Sunday paper comic section.

This 100% silk handspun yarn is so tough to come by and you very rarely see white spun into these types of yarns.

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.

See some ways to use the yarn by clicking on the "get inspiration" link on the header of this page!

A light worsted weight yarn that will yield about 4 sts per inch on size 8'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.
