This amazing yarn, is perfect for tops and shirts, you can hardly feel it when you wear it. But the luxury has a price. It's a very fragile yarn to knit and handle. Therefore I do not offer to cake this yarn for you. I recommend only doing it by hand, gently, with a lot of patience. It is very slippery so you cannot rush it!
Silk is a very delicate fiber that needs extra care, but the results are well worth it. It’s prone to fluffing if it catches on rough surfaces or gets snagged while knitting. To prevent this, use metal needles with sharp points instead of bamboo, as they’re smoother. Keep hands moisturized, and consider placing the yarn in a plastic bag or smooth fabric bag while knitting to protect it. Be careful not to knit too tightly, and be mindful of clothing or other surfaces that might cause snags. If you notice differences between skeins, slight technique adjustments may help maintain a smooth finish. My recommendation is to not knit when watching tv, you have to be careful not to knit into the yarn. Especially if you have pointy needles. Also you cannot knit it too tight and unravelling is also not good for it. In these cases the yarn can get fluffy, which does not look nice.
Pure silk, a yarn with a mood and very gentle handling needed. But if you manage all that, you will have the most amazing pieces of knitwear to wear and love.

The yarn is dyed in very small portions, and hand dyed. Therefore no two skeins are alike. So always remember to order enough yarn for your project, as a later dyeing never will be identical.
Colors may vary slightly from the picture, due to lighting conditions, computer monitor settings and camera calibration.
