Our silk is 100% Mulberry Silk and some of the best on the market. It has a beautiful mesh definition and is knitted on needles 3 - 4. Wooden needles are recommended as silk can be smooth to knit with. The silk is in AKW scale A, which means it is good for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. It is an item we mainly have in the spring and summer, and therefore it is important that you buy so that you are sure to have enough for your project. It is perfect for summer blouses, summer tops and shawls.
