Weight and Length
4 ply, fingering. 100g = 400 metres
Fibre
Keemun 4 - 100% Mulberry Silk in a plied 4 ply weight yarn.
A beautifully glossy silky yarn, just a tad lesser quality than the Ginseng so a little cheaper and has a very slight halo, but very hard to tell them apart. I'm actually destashing Keenum so it's even cheaper :-)
When knitted this yarn has a wonderful rich and lustrous handle and drape just as a pure silk item should be.
It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to luke warm water with a special silk detergent. Slight bleeding may occur but should not effect the final colour.
