The silk is mulberry silk, from cultivated Bombyx silkworms, which is more uniform than wild silk. and very fine. This yarn has a very even 4ply spin, yielding a light Worsted or DK weight yarn
This yarn is a marvelous choice for a larger garment or lace project. A size US seven needle will produce a solid stockinette fabric that can be luxuriously worn next to the skin. About 5 stitches to the inch.

This yarn is a wonderful texture, and the blue color is very beautiful. I look forward to making the wrap in the Amano fall 2017 book!

Colca Baby Llama & Silk
This is my first experience with this yarn. I'm finding I have to work carefully so I do not split the yarn while knitting. I love the color.
