Mulberry Silk (54%) and Australian Wool (46%). Same wool as the Silk Wool Blend 20/2 but 2 ply so two strands of 20/2. This also comes in 20/2 X 3 ply in various colors.
Beautiful, soft, strong, luxurious yarn. Does full because of the wool content. Can be used for warp or weft. Takes dye incredibly well. Wet finish gently in tepid water. Some agitation is appreciated because of the wool but remember there is just as much silk here so don't be aggressive.
20/2 X 2 ply (2 strands of 20/2)

Weaving Yarn
I dyed some of this yarn with marigold (golden yellow) and another batch with madder root (red) after mordanting in 15% WOF alum. I had no idea what to expect but I was absolutely overwhelmed with beauty! The colors are deep and intense. The yarn absorbed the colors eagerly and evenly. It also behaved really nicely in the dye pot. Let me know what you think....
