Yarn Information

Keenum 4 Ply – 100% Mulberry Spun Silk

Keenum is a luxurious 4 ply yarn crafted from 100% mulberry spun silk, offering exceptional softness, fluid drape, and a beautiful natural sheen. Unlike silk noil yarns, spun mulberry silk has a smooth, refined finish that allows colour to glow with remarkable depth and clarity.

Light yet strong, Keenum is particularly well suited to lace shawls, wraps, scarves, and elegant garments where drape and stitch definition are important. Delicate lace patterns open beautifully after blocking, while simple stockinette and textured stitches showcase the yarn's lustrous surface.

With excellent strength and a cool, comfortable feel against the skin, this yarn is an excellent choice for lightweight accessories and heirloom-quality projects.

Care Instructions
Silk is a natural protein fibre and benefits from gentle handling. Hand wash in cool water using a wool or silk wash. Avoid rubbing or wringing. Gently squeeze out excess water, roll in a towel, and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. A light steam or careful blocking will help maintain the fabric's beautiful drape and finish.

Keenum combines the timeless elegance of pure silk with the versatility of a practical 4 ply weight, making it a wonderful choice for knitters and crocheters seeking a yarn with softness, lustre, and graceful movement.
