      Denise, it's one of those "to die for" variations of pinks, purples,apricots
      That, with the combo of the two fibers - - - - - you're a spinner so you may appreciate this all the more
      If that's possible, cuz I can not keep from squishing this DEVINE SKEIN
      that's thanks for stopping by from your Knitting Den
      I love your podcast: The Knitting Den

    I wonder how cultivated silk is different from...well...normal silk? That yarn looks like a dream to knit!

      I think it's stated on the label to let us know the worms are treated well

      However i do know that often times silk will be labeled
      Say for example - mulberry silk
      as those particular worms feed on mulberry leaves
      There are a couple more i am aware of, but can not recall this time of the evening

      And i AM certain that it is going to be wonderful to knit

    This is so very lux, Mary.
    It may take a while for me to get the courage to cake this up.
    It feels so utterly lux
