Out of stock

MANOS Silk Blend is a combines merino wool and silk to form a yarn which is luxurious with lovely drape and lustre.  The soft heathering of the fiber blend and the gentle striations of the kettle-dyeing process give depth and complexity to single-color projects.

This beautiful yarn is perfect for indoor garments and transitional outerwear.

No two hanks are exactly alike and there are no dye lots. It is recommended buying enough yarn to complete a project and to alternate skeins every few rows to give an overall blended effect. We will match and select yarn carefully for you to achieve as even a colour spread as possible.

*Please note that every effort has been made to represent the colour of this yarn accurately, but that there may be reasonable differences between your screen view & the actual yarn colour.
